Wombat

Ages 0 to 3, Grades P And Under

Now a board book! Fans of You Loves Ewe’s witty wordplay and Jon Klassen’s wry illustrations will love this playful story packed with wombats, twobats, threebats, and morebats.

This wombat-shaped book is strikingly silly, and with its funny words, it’s a perfect gift for babies and toddlers—and very fun to read aloud!

From wombat to squarebat to roundbat and longbat—no bat is left out in this silly and sweet marsupial love story. Quirky, playful text paired with simple, humorous illustrations makes for a hilarious repeat read that babies, toddlers, and their grown-ups can enjoy.  

A perfect baby gift to be read aloud again and again, Wombat will leave littlebats, middlebats, and whopperbats alike giggling and begging for . . . morebats!
