When our son was very young we lived in Australia for about two years.  We purchased a number of Australian children's books so he would something to read about the country he most likely won't be able to remember.

Diary of a Wombat is about a pesky but charming wombat that moves in with a family.  The life of a wombat is just packed and you can follow along as she goes through her daily routine.  The endearing illustrations juxtapose with the destructiveness of the silly wombat who pesters her human companions who happily seem only slightly bothered by the wombat in their midst.  Sure to bring a smile to your face, this book will make your child ask you for a pet wombat.
