Wilma the Witch is finally getting a new cat. Every Witch needs one and she is looking forward to all the things they will do together. But when the pet store runs out of cats, Wilma ends up with a wombat instead. She decides she will make her wombat become more cat-like. After several mishaps, Wilma gets frustrated and wishes her wombat away. After feeling terrible about this, she searches for him and finds that wombats have a uniqueness of their very own.
This is a great story about accepting differences and that everyone is unique in their own way. Kids will find humor in the story and illustrations but also learn the importance of being true to yourself. You cannot make others be who you want them to be. Wilma realizes this when she sees how wombat was trying very hard learning to be a cat just to please her. It is a funny book but most of all has a terrific message. Throughout we learn facts about wombats and what a special animal they are. A great Halloween time story to add to your bookshelf that kids might pick up all year long as well. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 5-7.~
