Welcome, Wombat (True Tales of Rescue) - Hardcover

"The combination of captivating photos and the humorous narration make the material very approachable and entertaining, even as it informs."--School Library Journal "This narrative text describes life at Sleepy Burrows in an unconventional way--through the voice of a wombat."--Booklist

When a new baby wombat shows up at Sleepy Burrows Sanctuary in Australia, Chance, the veteran wombat, is excited to show the new gal the ropes. Before any animal can be successfully released, many things have to happen. After rescue comes recovery, then rehabilitation, and finally, release. Those are animal-sanctuary tenets - an animal will remain safe until release or until it dies. For Chance and the new wombat, Panzer, this means learning how to find food, dig, and find a lifelong companion. Readers will love Chance, Panzer, and the crew of wombats. Other books in the photo-packed Sanctuary Stories series include Sweet Senior Pups.
