What does a Wombat do at Christmas?
What you need to know before your trail
“Slept. Scratched. Slept.” Indeed, it seems like Christmas will be just another day for the wombat . . . until she smells carrots! In this charming picture book, the star of Diary of a Wombat goes head to head with Santa’s reindeer in competition for carrots–and wins. Then, as an accidental stowaway on Santa’s sleigh, she learns that carrots are internationally available. No wonder she isn’t hungry for treats on Christmas morning! Engaging illustrations delightfully complement the spare text in this unique, wombat’s-eye view of a favorite holiday.

Wombats in Australia
Wombats are nocturnal, live in burrows and are closely related to the Koala. They are small, round and have good muscles so are often called “the bulldozers of the bush.”
Wombats live in coastal areas, grasslands or forest areas in New South Wales, eastern Victoria, north-east Tasmania and Flinders Island (a small island just north of Tasmania). They don’t live in the desert as they are herbivores.
Kangaroo Valley in New South Wales is another great place to see wombats in the wild, but like any wild animals, they’re not the most reliable when trying to spot them outside
