Wombats #1: Go Camping

Description

Meet Albert and Pickles. They're the best of friends, complete opposites, and now the starring duo in a new early-reader graphic novel series that is perfect for fans of the Jack books, Baloney and Friends and Narwhal and Jelly. Albert and Pickles are going camping together for the first time but this pair of besties have very different ideas of what exploring the great outdoors will be like. Albert is ready to camp the old fashioned way, while Pickles is ready to glamp. When Pickles finds out that camping does not include a jacuzzi under the stars, a luxury cabin, and five-course meals, he's going to have to find a way to cope for one whole night. Luckily Albert is there to assist in pitching a tent, cooking their food, and scaring away the bugs. While navigating their way through the rest of this camping trip, Albert and Pickles happen upon a lost baby koala and their friend, Platters who's in search of the Woolly Moon Beast-a legendary, ferocious animal that roams the woods. Together, they'll have to find a way to reunite this baby koala with its mama while this scary creature looms large. And Pickles might find an appreciation for the wilderness along the way.
