JACKIE FRENCH

A hilarious view of Christmas as seen through the eyes of Mothball the wombat. Christmas comes but once a year and it''s just as well for Santa''s reindeer who have to fight with Mothball for the carrots left out for them by the local children. And when Mothball takes an unexpected sleigh ride, it''s not just Santa who faces the prospect of getting stuck in the chimney. Christmas from a wombat''s eye view is always going to be interesting - especially when that wombat is Mothball!

Take a trip with a wombat, and discover the ins and outs of her day in this fantastic toddler friendly board format of the modern classic Australian picture book. There are holes to be dug and territory to be defended -- and don''t forget all the eating and sleeping that needs to be squeezed in too! A wombat''s work is never done! She sleeps. She eats. She scratches. She is training humans to become better pets. She is Mothball, a wombat with attitude. Award-winning author Jackie French''s love of wombats comes alive in this cheeky observation of Mothball''s life, while Bruce Whatley''s captivating illustrations of Mothball''s antics show just how endearing wombats are to humans.

¿Cómo empezó el universo? ¿Cómo eran los humanos primitivos? ¿Se debe tratar a los animales de manera diferente que a los humanos? ¿Puede pensar una máquina? ¿Existen los extraterrestres? ¿Por qué no es justa la vida? ¿Es malo matar? ¿Como sabemos lo que esta bien y lo que esta mal? Estas son algunas de las grandes preguntas, es decir, las que los seres humanos se vienen haciendo desde tiempo inmemorial, y que basicamente se resumen en: de donde venimos, quienes somos, adonde vamos, que es la vida, que es la muerte, como debemos comportarnos... Lo malo es que, cuanto mas importante es la pregunta, mas respuestas posibles tiene. De todos modos, como alguna respuesta es mejor que ninguna, la utilidad de las que encontraras en este fascinante libro consiste en que te llevaran a hacerte nuevas preguntas, a buscar mas piezas para resolver el gran rompecabezas que supone la historia de la humanidad. Las personas que preguntan como, por que o incluso por que no son las que siguen inventando nuevas maquinas y nuevas maneras de ver el mundo que nos rodea. Hacer preguntas es una de las cosas que distinguen a los humanos.
