'French and Whatley have conjured an affectionate, believable wombat self-portrait' -- The New York Times Book Review
'I absolutely love the tone of Mothball's diary entries -- the dry brevity and classic wombat behaviour that's made this gorgeous creature an Aussie literary treasure. Whatley's divinely funny illustrations yet again make for an all-rounder of a book that will loosen smiles on readers of any age' -- Kids' Book Review
