Bookroo's summary

Mothball the wombat stumbles upon a hole that leads her to a school, where she discovers the joys and challenges of human life. As she explores, the children learn about her love for carrots and grass, while Mothball finds out that lunch boxes are lacking in carrots and sports sheds make cozy nap spots. But being a round, brown wombat near a ball can lead to unexpected surprises. What will Mothball learn next in this delightful adventure?

From the publisher

She eats. She sleeps. She scratches. She goes to school… She sleeps. She eats. She scratches - and finds a hole. When Mothball discovers a new hole, it unexpectedly leads her to the local school. the children learn that wombats love carrots and grass, while Mothball learns that lunch boxes contain very few carrots, that sports sheds can be a good place to have a nap, and that when you’re brown and round, it’s not a good idea to get too close to a ball … Ages 3 years plus
