A picturebook retelling of the story of one episode from the brand-new TV series, and illustrated with photos from the TV. The Wombles are fondly remembered and have now been given a new lease of life with new adventures, new costumes, new characters, new technology to aid their mission to clear up litter - and with all the charm and appeal of the original TV series!

In this story, Great Uncle Bulgaria decides to move the burrow buggy out of the way but as he has never driven it before, chaos ensues as the car runs away with him. Wellington and Tobermory attempt an air rescue from the Womcopter but in the end, it is Madame Cholet and Alderney who save the day with a giant bowl of cake mix!
