Wombat Said Come In

When Wombat welcomes five other animals into the safety of his burrow while a bushfire rages above, his anxiety grows - his peaceful home is becoming pandemonium!

'From smoke and din
and howling wind,
come in, my friend, come in!"

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
While a bushfire is raging above, Wombat stays safe in his cozy burrow. What might he do when trouble - in the form of an unexpected guest - comes knocking at his door? One by one, five uniquely Australian animals - Wallaby, Kookaburra, Platypus, Koala, and Sugar Glider - appear. Wombat welcomes them all, with growing anxiety. Before long, Wombat's peaceful burrow becomes a pandemonium of messy and unruly guests who take his favourite chair and wear his slippers.

What, oh what, is a big-hearted Wombat to do?
