I bought this as an inside joke gift for my boyfriend for Christmas of 2010. He absolutely adored it and so do I! It is beautifully illustrated and has a sturdy binding. We love the curl up in a ball story. This will definitely last until we have children and can read it to them!

Great story book for infants. pictures are colorful and detailed and keeps our infant daughter glued to the pages time after time.

Great stories and illustrations! It is very nice to all them all in one collection. Definitely one of our favorites!

My son checked this book out at the library,and didn't want to return it until he had his own copy. It's a great story that will grab their attention with great pictures. I would recommend this book to everyone who has small children.

Adventures of Little Wombat
My daughter is so in love with Little Wombat. It is nice to have all of the stories in one place (although I wish there were more stories..) The pictures are bright and cheerful and the animals make her laugh as she points them out to us.

Charles Fuge is one of the best illustrators of children's books that I have come across. My son is high energy and these pictures keep him sitting throughout the whole story. I have compared this book with the single print versions I have and it's obvious that the print is not right. It's a bit green. Also, the single printings have MUCH more depth. In the good printings, the illustrations come alive; in this one, they do not. I noticed the inferiority immediately, but decided to keep the book so I don't mind when my kids destroy it. I will take time and collect the others for when the kids are older and can appreciate the complexities in life. Please do not judge Charles Fuge's work by this printing.

We already had the book "Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball" and we really love it as does our 2 yr old daughter. The rhyming story is really cute and has a good rhythm and the illustrations are really great. I love that some pages offer the opportunity to turn the book in different orientations which my kid loves to do. So, we thought we'd get this book with all 4 wombat stories. I'm sure she'll like it but I was disappointed. The other stories aren't nearly as clever and aren't in the first person voice which I thought offered a great perspective. They felt a little phoned in and even the illustrations aren't quite as saturated and creative. Oh well. Good enough but wouldn't buy it again as there are so many great books available.
