Christmas Wombat by Jackie French
Christmas comes but once a year, and it's just as well for Santa's reindeer, who have to fight with Mothball for the carrots left out for them by the local children. And when Mothball takes an unexpected sleigh ride, it's not just Santa who faces the prospect of getting stuck in the chimney. Christmas Wombat by Jackie French illustrated by Bruce Whatley was published in October 2011. This book is apart of the Wombat series. This book was nominated for Australian Book Industry Award for Younger Children in 2012.
This had very simple illustrations but they really make the point across. I loved how this story put the reader in the mind of a wombat rather then in third person. Cassie got a kick out of what the wombat was thinking on every page. She tried to even correct him as we read on every page. This is a perfect book to talk about Australia and all of their traditions for Christmas. I recommend checking out this book.
