Wombat and Fox return.

|  |
Wherever Wombat and Fox go, trouble is never far behind. How hard can it be to take a bus to the beach? What can go wrong at the sandcastle competition? Surely crab-hunting is a safe activity…
Wombat & Fox: Summer in the City is the eagerly-awaited sequel to Wombat & Fox: Tales of the City It provides a zany, carefree look at Wombat and Fox’s summer holiday, as they tackle a stressful bus trip, a wacky sandcastle competition and a crab-hunting expedition not to mention the five cheeky monkeys intent on ruining their holiday.
This is a story that children of all ages can enjoy. Terry Denton tells the story in his own unique way, and humorous black and white pictures on every page complement the story perfectly. This book is great for beginning readers aged 7-11 and also for reading aloud.
Great stuff.
