A Line in the Sand

by Laura Bunting, Phillip Bunting (Illustrator)

In the paw-sizzling heat of summer, Wombat and Roo need to cool their toasted toes. They find themselves on a beautiful beach with more than enough ocean for everyone. But there is one very little problem ... Quokka thinks he owns the beach. And he is not in the mood for sharing.

The second hilarious book in "The Wild Life" series. I am glad they didn't shy away from the wombat needing to pee. There is also a discussion about respect and fear. My favourite moments here are "sent him flying like an enormous, hairy cricket ball" and "ew, sea cucumber ew, marsupial!" As well as wombat dressed as a mermaid shouting "I'm Beautiful". And there is going to be a 3rd book! Yay!

A hilarious continuation of the series.
We need more wombat mermaids in our lives. 🧜‍♀️

The delightful second book in this lovely series for young readers. A beautifully illustrated story of friendship, sharing, kindness and really needing a pee.

Funny cute characters in a plot that swings from toilet humour to deep thinking about dictators and bullies!
A keeper.
