A wonderfully illustrated Donovan Bixley board book for learning animal names in both English and te reo Maori. Featuring cow (kau), horse (hoiho) and sheep (hipi), but also bat (pekapeka), gecko (moko papa) and morepork (ruru). Perfect for Kiwi kids. "Early concept boardbooks and picture books are essential as a way to both teach children language and begin their lifelong love of books." - The Sapling *** Love this book?

Reviews

The latest two board books are my favourites in the collection so far. Taking known songs and adding NZ-style illustrations was pretty cool (there's no doubt he's incredibly talented), but these latest books are something I really value having on our shelves. * Striking Keys Blog *
