Critic Reviews

"It’s easy to see why this book has won several awards in Jackie French’s native Australia. It deserves to be a huge hit here too, as it feels really fresh and original." ( Publishing News on Diary of a Wombat)

Would be great if used in conjunction with the physical book but terribly boring when only listening to it.
The narration and sound effects are great but there's just not enough words or descriptions to construct enough imagination to make it enjoyable. At least that's what myslef and my 4 children (ages 5 - 10 years) thought.

Boring without the physical book to view.

I loved the book and Jackie French's narrating voice and her stories about wildlife and women's underpants. It was a lovely book and enjoyed reading it.

It was a very lovely book to hear.
