Illustrated by
Charles Fuge.
A young wombat plays with his friends in the woods, on a beach, and in the desert. But as night falls, he goes home and sleeps curled up with his parent. Written in a simple rhyming style and illustrated with action-filled watercolors, the text is a bit precious, but this is a diverting look at an independent child who still loves the security of home.
