Wisest Elder Ever

This subject came up briefly today on another thread in our PN forum:
. and . These two links give a story about an adopted rescued wombat, and the two children's books that resulted from the inspiring experience! I just bought both books for us, at Amazon.... one penny each + shipping. The artwork it really fun and adorable. Books for all ages IMO and not just for children. .

I'm glad you bought those books.
She's a very well known author here. The illustrations are done by Bruce Whatley. He and Jackie French have collaborated on quite a number of picture books. Jackie French also writes other books apart from children's books, including gardening books - organic, companion, self-sufficient. I want to read her "How the Aliens from Alpha Centauri Invaded my Maths Class and Turned me into a Writer". Neat title! She seems a very interesting woman with many talents. I must go to the library. |

there is a wonderful gal reading the Wombat book on YouTube.
It is hilarious! very droll...and we appreciate droll in this house! I had a very good time watching this video: . Lara, what does "cheeky" mean in this context? I looked it up online and found many meanings...mostly negative in some way. We don't use that word here commonly.

"Cheeky" would mean mischievous. Playful and happy context. Not negative.

I thought of wombats yesterday, as our equivalent, Moe, our
resident groundhog, ran thru our yard to the back where the dandelions are blooming. Seeing him run like that was funny. They can really move when they want to! . (we do not find him so funny when he eats my flowers so much though later in the year!) We evicted him from under the house last fall, but he seems healthy and fatter this spring... must have found another home or had a second hole when we did that fix.

Just sharing since mrsD brought up groundhogs. Did you know that groundhogs can climb trees. And, yes they are fast. They can do great damage once they are under a building. We get rid of them in short order.
