Charles Fuge.
It's Little Wombat's turn to be the seeker in a game of hide-and-seek with Rabbit and Koala, but since he's easily distracted, he wanders off and gets lost during a cloudburst. While it's entertaining to watch Little Wombat's toddlerlike behavior, a very speedy rescue by Mom lessens the story's impact. The cutesy illustrations offer close-ups of Little Wombat and friends.
