The Wombats Go Wild for Words - Hardcover
by Beth Ferry (Author), Lori Nichols (Illustrator)
A trio of wandering wombats with a passion for words inspire an enthusiastic duckling to transform her town from dull to dazzling in this delectable picture book that shares with children the magic of words.
Evergreen Forest is a very nice forest, with very nice trees and very nice animals. It's a rather dull place, but no one says a word about it. In fact, no one says very many words at all! And therein lies the problem. Until the word-loving wandering wombats arrive. They use words like enthusiastic and splendiferous, ready to turn ordinary into EXTRAordinary! With twinkles in their eyes and words on their minds, the word wombats come to transform Evergreen Forest. At first, the animals of Evergreen Forest are...confused. All except for a curious duckling who eagerly devours every noun, adjective, and verb that she hears. Slowly, the inhabitants of Evergreen Forest become mesmerized as they realize that words are not just fun, they are inspiring. New York Times bestselling author Beth Ferry and acclaimed illustrator Lori Nichols captivate readers with this dazzling, magnificent, and triumphant tale about discovering the power of words and the ways they connect and empower us.Author Biography
