'From smoke and din and howling wind, come in, my friend, come in!"
When Wombat welcomes five other animals into the safety of his burrow while a bushfire rages above, his anxiety grows - his peaceful home is becoming pandemonium!
While a bushfire is raging above, Wombat stays safe in his cozy burrow. What might he do when trouble - in the form of an unexpected guest - comes knocking at his door? One by one, five uniquely Australian animals - Wallaby, Kookaburra, Platypus, Koala, and Sugar Glider - appear. Wombat welcomes them all, with growing anxiety. Before long, Wombat's peaceful burrow becomes a pandemonium of messy and unruly guests who take his favourite chair and wear his slippers.
What, oh what, is a big-hearted Wombat to do?
