“Wombalong is the story of a baby wombat orphaned through ignorance and impatience and of the family which, reluctantly at first, cares for her.  Although the violence of her mother’s death is realistic and unpleasant, Wombalong’s story is one in which affection and instinct win through and conflicts are resolved through common-sense.”
