My kids' favorite Christmas picture book. A wombat finds her way onto Santa's sleigh, and lives her best life on the journey.

This wombat has ended up on a ride on Santa's sleigh. She fights the reindeer for the carrots left out, in his funny wombat way. In the end she eats more carrots than a wombat can dream of.

I loved this funny view of the personality of a wombat. I think that before reading this Christmas edition it would be nice to read the original "Diary of a Wombat" book by the same author to get a feel for the style of the book. Still, it was adorable and funny, especially seeing the relatively small creature bully big reindeer into giving up their carrots.

Ok, I'm a fan of Jackie French, and wombats, and especially French's wombats.
And now I'm a fan of her reindeer, too. Utterly charming. ( )

43 months - the story line is cute but I've never really appreciated this series. Maybe because we've long since moved on to much more wordy books. ( )
