"Acrobat.
Chit -
chat.
Winkbat.
Stinkbat.
Plumbat.
Numbat."
Here's a bit of fun for little ones! With digital cut-paper artwork, Philip Bunting fills the book's pages with a charming short and stocky brown animal who provides laughs for the littlest readers. The puns are evident and engaging, starting with 'wombat' and moving on to 'twobats' before adding 'threebats'. Kids will be particularly interested in the creatures' playful demeanor as shown often throughout the reading.
The images are placed on backgrounds that shift from one color to another, and offer a great deal of fun for the reader. Clever rhymes, changing perspectives, and pages that introduce numbers, shapes, colors, even emotions and directions guarantee avid interest and requests to hear it again. Soon, those children ready for some independence in reading will be trying on their own to repeat what they see and have heard.
The final three spreads share a story of love and family, when two wombats fall in like, then love, and finally create a new family.
"Thisbat.

Awwwww!
