PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- The Buntings are well known for their amusing picture books, separately and together, but this is the first in a series aimed at new readers gaining confidence who still need lots of illustrations to break up the blocks of text. Full colour illustrations (and with those lovely allusions and in-jokes which make for a delightful experience) augment the witty tale of best friends Roo and Wombat. Wombat wants berries, but as they grow outside his comfort zone, he will go without. But Roo, a much more daring and practical character, knows that when you want something, some times you have to go that little bit further than your safety zone… Great fun, but also with a nice use of words to stretch the beginning reader as well as entertain!

Wombat won't leave his Safety Zone. Nope. No way. Not even for his favourite treat ... sweet, sweet bush berries. But Roo believes she can do anything if she puts her mind to it. Especially tracking down some delicious berries for dinner. (Even if those berries do happen to be growing at the very top of a massive mountain.)
