Wombat Divine by Mem Fox is a delightful tale centred around Wombat's love for Christmas. He adores the carols and candles, the presents and the pudding, but most of all, he cherishes the Nativity Play.

Wombat's enthusiasm for the Nativity Play leads him to audition for every part. However, he soon finds that he isn’t quite right for any role.

Fortunately, the wise Emu comes to the rescue, recognising the perfect part for a sleepy wombat. What follows is the best Nativity Play ever, thanks to his perfect fit.
