In “Work It Out Wombats!, Volume 1,” Super, Zadie and Malik tackle a big mess by breaking it into little jobs and the Wombats make a new hat for Ellie using measuring. Then, when Malik wrecks the instructions, Operation “Wash Stinky Snout” doesn’t go as planned. Next, the Wombats ask their friends for help to make a special thank you treat for Super. Zadie and Malik then retrace their steps to locate Zeke’s beloved stuffy. After this, when Zadie messes up Mr. E’s shell garden, she learns the key to finding the pattern is in JunJun’s song! Then Zadie helps Malik design a faster route to sick-and-sniffly Sammy so Sammy’s ice cream won’t melt on the way. Following this, when Zadie doesn’t take the time to plan what they need for a fun campout, “fun” quickly becomes unfun.

In Volume 2, Zeke transforms into The Mighty Zeke in the hopes of getting over his fear of riding a two-wheeler and the Wombats are invited to the Fishmans’ baby shower. Then the Wombats help find the mystery of a scary-weird sound that has frightened Carly, CeCe and Clyde. Following this, the Wombats become “Hopping Helpers,” packaging jars of super-sticky Ooey Gooey Goo. Next, Malik learns the key to a successful “Brother Day” and Zeke and Louisa learn how to be successful waiters. Then, Zeke learns how to manage a sleepover when the bedtime routine is different than at home. Plus, the Wombats navigate an exciting network of tunnels beneath the Treeborhood, they decide to celebrate a summer version of Halloween, and finally, they build Zeke a giant snow globe!

In Volume 3, the Wombats create the perfect “Me Time,” and Zadie yearns to make some noise with her Really Big, Really Loud Noisy Thing. The Wombats then need to work out what to do when you have too many pairs of Sparkle Pants and what kind of game Zadie, CeCe, Clyde and Carly can play that’s fun for all. Then, Louisa hatches a plan to trade mud pies for stickers, but Zeke can’t remember the recipe, and Zadie learns how to take a photo that will bring students to a class to help inspire Mr. E. Next, Zeke’s sorting choices prove interesting when he volunteers to be Mr. E’s “Helper for the Day.” After this, the Wombats are psyched to race in the Treeborhood Derby, but they can’t get their homemade car out of the house. Plus, the Wombats organize a talent show, and then, feeling left out of the Treeborhood’s Collection Bonanza, Zeke goes in search of a collection he can call his own.
