Synopsis
The Wombles have just gratefully returned to their burrow on Wimbledon Common. They had needed to leave because heavy lorries thundering up and down the nearby road had threatened to make the roof of the burrow cave in.
Now that the Wombles are safely back, though, there is another problem they have to contend with. It seems that the humans have realised they have an energy crisis and are throwing much less away. The Wombles' supplies begin to run low. What can the Wombles do? It is time for EMERGENCY SPECIAL PROJECTS - with DIY king Tobermory in charge!

About the Author
Elisabeth Beresford first came up with the idea for the Wombles characters one day when walking on Wimbledon Common with her two children. The Wombles have since so charmed the nation that they were chosen as the mascots for the Tidy Britain campaign. Elisabeth Beresford was awarded an MBE for her services to children's literature in 1998.
Review

Perfect for 8-to 10-year-olds' Telegraph magazine 'Today's children will be as charmed as their parents by Great Uncle Bulgaria, Orinoco, Bungo and Tobermory and their quest to recycle rubbish and put it to good use' www.express.co.uk
