'Wombat has been digging and hanging around in his burrow all day, but he starts to feel lonely and leaves his safe warm space to see what his friends are doing. Happy to see him, his friends try to include him in their play. Wombat thinks his friends are special, and admires all the clever things they can do. But when Wombat realises that he will never sing like Magpie, dance like Dingo, or run like Goanna, he is sad, and tries to return to his burrow. His friends, however, have a different plan. After all, they think that Wombat is special too!' (Publication summary)
