Synopsis

Shaun is the new sheep shearer in Shaggy Gully. Since shearing is such hard work, all the other shearers have sheep dogs to help them. But not Shaun. His partner is Pete . . . a sheep- sheep Pete has a polite way of rounding up his charges, and Shaun is an expert shearer. The sheep are thrilled with this unconventional new team, but the other shearers--Ratso, Big Bob, and Bungo--are not. Luckily, Pete has a few ideas under his hat that are sure to please everyone. Bruce Whatley's spirited illustrations bring to life Jackie French's zany characters in this hilarious tribute to individuality and the working sheep.

Review:

Praise for ‘Diary of a Wombat’:

‘Bruce Whatley’s illustrations bring the story to life in a way that is both endearing and amusing. It’s easy to see why this book has won several awards in Jackie French’s native Australia. It deserves to be a huge hit here too, as it feels really fresh and original.’ Publishing News

‘French and Whatley have conjured an affectionate, believable wombat self-portrait.’ New York Times Book Review
