Beloved trio Charlie the Platypus, Bob the Wombat, and Harry the Koala return in the heartwarming and timely new children’s book, Charlie, Bob and Me (Harry) – The Big Wet, by acclaimed author S.H. Chase. Set in the vibrant and vulnerable Australian bush, this beautifully illustrated story captures the challenges of climate extremes while celebrating the strength of community, compassion, and cooperation.
Following the success of Charlie, Bob and Me (Harry) – The Big Clean Up, this new installment opens after a long, punishing drought has left the landscape brittle and bare. Waterholes vanish, food becomes scarce, and the native wildlife faces growing peril. But when the heavens finally open, the relief quickly turns into urgency as flash floods threaten the very safety of their bushland home.
With vivid storytelling and gentle humor, The Big Wet follows the three furry friends on a race against rising waters. Together, they brave the elements to help those around them, demonstrating that courage and friendship shine brightest in times of crisis.
Critics are already praising the book’s emotional depth and environmental messaging. In a recent review, Literary Titan called it “a gentle, charming story” and “one of those quiet little gems that sneaks up on you,” highlighting the heartwarming dynamics between the characters and the book’s honest reflection of nature’s duality.
Young readers will be enchanted by the witty banter — like Bob’s exasperated but loving sigh, “Harry, when are you going to learn?” — as well as the acts of selflessness and resilience throughout. This is a tale that not only entertains but gently educates, making it a must-read for families, schools, and nature lovers alike.
