AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A collection of three interlinked illustrated stories for beginners and developing readers, featuring Fox and Wombat and their hilarious adventures in the city. Wombat and Fox are the best of friends - native animals in a human city. They are like children who find themselves in a grown-up world and they don't quite understand the rules of life. Their everyday adventures in the urban environment are dramatic, charming and funny. Warm-hearted Denton-style sketch comedy presented as three stories in one for beginner readers. There will be more books featuring these endearing characters.' (Publication summary)
