"In their burrow, wombats Dig and Scratch are safe from an Australian bush fire. To Scratch's dismay, Dig invites two wallabies, a koala, and a tiger snake to join them. It's a tight squeeze, but even Scratch has to agree that welcoming their neighbors was a good idea when the other animals help the wombats through a flood. Back matter includes an author's note, a glossary of animals, and information about environmental disasters and Indigenous land stewardship."-- - Baker & Taylor
