This is partly to do with the realistic style of art. Unusually for a children’s book, the wombat is female yet has not been given any typically feminine markers, such as a big pink bow. STORY STRUCTURE OF DIARY OF A WOMBAT WHO IS THE MAIN CHARACTER? Bruce Whatley illustrates animals in a mostly realistic style, with only a few modifications to make the facial expressions more human, making the pairing perfect. Jackie French could have anthropomorphised the wombat and taken her off on an adventure to save the world, but this wombat is inspired by the wombats around French’s own house. But wombats don’t really do much and have little to report. We expect that if someone has taken the trouble to write something down then it must be something important. Like Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Diary of a Wombat is a parody of a diary.
