Sometimes I Like to Curl up in a Ball is a board book by Vicky Churchill and illustrated by Charles Fuge. Little Wombat is a roly-poly character who likes to do all sorts of things: play in the mud, try to stand as tall as a tree, race with his friends, and so on. But at the end of the day, he just wants to go home to his mommy or daddy and curl up in a ball in a comfy place and go to sleep. This book is ideal for little ones from about 1-3 years old. They will especially enjoy one page spread where you flip the book to a vertical orientation and another where Little Wombat makes silly faces and you can turn the book all the way around to see them all. The illustrations communicate the warmth and spunk of Little Wombat's personality.
There are a couple other books featuring Little Wombat, but this one is our favorite by far.
This was my firstborn's favorite book. She's 9 now ... reading books with no pictures. *sigh*
