Whatley’s illustrations match the tone: sparse composition with little background reminds us that the story here is Mothball’s and what you see is what you get. NovemDiary of a Rescued Wombat: The Untold Story By Jackie French and Bruce Whatley Reviewed by Mia Macrossan This is the twentieth anniversary of the publication of the first book about Mothball, the lovable wombat who has stolen the hearts and minds of countless children. Celebrating the twentieth anniversary, this is the story of Mothball, one of the worlds most famous wombats - and where it all began. Her voice is exactly what you would imagine from a stocky young wombat- Mothball knows her own mind and is a creature of few words. She plods along through her world, digging holes, ploughing through trifling obstacles like wooden doors, and generally sneaking her way into her humans’ (and our) hearts.
When her favourite nibbles are not available, she chomps through all sorts of other things- socks, toilet paper, shoelaces-in her endless quest for carrots and grass and more carrots and more grass.
In the now-familiar charming, chunky, persistent, steadfast wombat tone we have come to love, little orphaned Mothball is found and rescued, quickly embracing life with her humans, so long as grass and carrots are always plentiful and fresh.
