Isn’t that great!  A cute little kid’s book about Wendell the Weasel
and his friend called Wanda.
Wendell seems like quite a hip young mustelid, what with his spiky hair.  I wonder if it’s gelled ;-)  He was a very lonely little boy, living in the woods all by himself until he meets up with Wanda.  That’s about all I know of the tale.
The author is Jeanne Neumann and she originally wrote the story for her two daughters, then set about looking for a publisher to publish the story.
Once that was achieved, she is now telling the tale of Wendell to primary school kids who apparently are very enthralled about this weasel.
I think it’s great to see positive stories about mustelids in kids’ books and will certainly be getting this one for Imogen, our granddaughter.
She’s always hugging the ferrets when she comes over so I’m keen to reinforce her love of them by trying to get her presents which have something to do with ferrets or their cousins whenever possible :-)
