Description
A charmingly illustrated, deeply reassuring Little Wombat story in the internationally acclaimed bestselling series, about getting lost and found again.
Found You, Little Wombat! features Little Wombat, who loves playing hide-and-seek with his friends, even though he doesn't understand all the rules of the game. So when it's his turn to look, he hides again, then calls out "Two, TEN" and opens his eyes. Rabbit and Koala suggest he counts 10 flowers and searches for them. However, Little Wombat doesn't count the pink blossoms beside him, and instead, he wanders far away over the hill, looking for yellow ones.
Suddenly, he realises that he's all alone. But he can depend on his friends and his mum coming to the rescue.
The Little Wombat series, by Charles Fuge, has sold over 1 million copies.
