A delightful counting book featuring some very cheeky Australian animals and lots of humour.

An Aussie Counting Adventure


How hard can it be to find a bit of peace and quiet?

Wombat is tired and just wants to rest. But it's hard to sleep during the day when a bunch of noisy birds want to sing and play. The magpies keep whistling, the fairy wrens are flitting about and don't even talk about the kookaburras.

Poor tired wombat. Will he ever get to sleep?

<h3>More Than Just Numbers
One Very Tired Wombat isn't just another counting book. It's a captivating story imbued with authentic Aussie charm.
