Wombat Stew by Marcia K Vaughan and Pamela Lofts

On the banks of a Billabong, a hungry dingo catches a wombat and decides to make some gooey brewy, yummy, chewy wombat stew. The other bush animals come together and create a clever plan to save the wombat by tricking the dingo. Will their plan work or will the wombat end up as stew? Join us in this beloved Australian picture book classic to find out.

Wombat Stew is a story filled with humour, using simple repetitive text that invites readers to join in. The rhythm of the text makes the story feel like a song, and the repeating chorus invites the reader to sing along, creating a fun shared reading experience. The illustrations are clear and match the text. The animals are easy to recognise, making it simpler for children to follow the story.
