Muddleheaded Wombat, The

Ruth Park was born in New Zealand in 1917 and later moved to Australia. During the 1960s, she wrote four stories about a talking muddleheaded wombat. Her tales have been a favorite among Australian children ever since. The wombat in the story might be muddleheaded, but he is also lovable and endearing.

The Muddleheaded Wombat combines, in one edition, four of Ruth Park’s much-loved classics:

• The Muddleheaded Wombat (1962),
• The Muddleheaded Wombat on Holiday (1964),
• The Muddleheaded Wombat in the Treetops (1965) and
• The Muddleheaded Wombat at School (1966).

This paperback edition features the original line drawings by Noela Young, bringing alive the adventures of Wombat and his inseparable friends, Mouse and tabby Cat, for today’s children.
