(2) K-3 Wilma is excited to bring home her new cat, but there's a big problem: the pet store is out of cats and gives her a wombat instead. The young witch doesn't hide her disappointment and unsuccessfully tries to force her pet to be more catlike. Belote's humorous digital illustrations showcase the many ways a wombat is not like a cat. It's only after her pet runs off that Wilma begins to appreciate the wombat she has. This lighthearted and heartwarming allegory about acceptance also includes a brief appended list of interesting facts about wombats, building on a sillier list within the story.
