Review # 1 was written on 2012-12-26 00:00:00 Elliott Hobbs If you know your Australian critters, you know which part in the Nativity play is the best fit for Wombat. So much humor, and heart, in this story, and it's grand to see Christmas in summer.... I hope you and yours get a chance to read it. |
Review # 2 was written on 2012-12-14 00:00:00 Brian Plyler I picked this up because I think Mem Fox has a good hit/miss ratio... The cover I have isn't immediately christmassy, and I thought Wombat Divine was referring to an especially good wombat - so I was initially suprised that this was a Christmas book. This book has everything you could ask for - great illustrations, a smidge of rhythm and rhyme, Trouble, and the happy ending. Three small aspects that I really liked: * The small-town Hall where the Nativity Play is held - this is almost certainly a Memorial Hall, and they are found in just about every small town in Australia. * The second last page has the holly wrapping paper and the fake pine Christmas tree - so out of place in the Australian bush! * Platypus snoozing off the pudding in the corner after a long Christmas day! |
