'After Australian novelist Prue Batten happened to mention that she had a black wombat on her farm in Tasmania, I challenged her to write a story about him. This sweet and simple children's story is the result.
'Nugget has a pretty good life, really. He has a snug burrow he dug himself and delicious roots and leaves to eat. If it weren't for the teasing and antics of the wallabies, cockatoos, and kookaburras, anyway. And he's a bit lonely. But there's a rumor of another wombat far up the bush track on the other side of the farm. . .'
