I'm a 30-something Canadian bookworm who is always on the lookout for the next good book to read. I am a huge sci-fi and fantasy fan but I also love reading classic literature.

  3. Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball

    Ayla edited the description of Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball Tuesday, December 29, 2009.

    • Little wombat spends a day doing favorite things-what could they be? Are they your favorites, too? Let's look and see. Soft-toned illustrations portray an endearing little wombat and the warm and friendly world around him. Every page is filled with charming details that stand up to repeated viewings: cute mice, rabbits, and turtles peering from behind tall grass, marching pigeons, and a menagerie of other adorable animals. The images, along with the lyrically rhyming text, combine to make a sweet-spirited bedtime story to ease young ones to sleep.
