The Muddleheaded Wombat combines, in one edition, four of Ruth Park's much-loved classics: The Muddleheaded Wombat (1962), The Muddleheaded Wombat on Holiday (1964), The Muddleheaded Wombat in the Treetops (1965) and The Muddleheaded Wombat at School (1966). Featuring one of Australia's most adored children's book characters of all time, these stories have never been out of print.

This paperback edition features the original line drawings by Noela Young, bringing alive the adventures of Wombat and his inseparable friends, Mouse and tabby Cat, for today's children.
