Synopsis

Wombat loved Christmas. He loved the carols and the candles, the presents and the pudding, but most of all he loved the Nativity Play... Wombat loves the Nativity Play so much that he tried out for every part, but he doesn't seem to be right for any of them. Luckily, wise emu knows the perfect role for a sleepy wombat, and it's the best Nativity Play ever. This gorgeous story is now in a special anniversary edition, released in 2019 to celebrate twenty-five divine years!
