Brightly coloured illustrations bring to life this New Zealand take on the traditional song Ten Green Bottles with one small kiwi ‘falling off the wall’ until there are none left. But – wait – that’s not the end of the story because the kiwi all end up in bed having a story read to them. Half of the book is in English and the other in te reo Maori with a bonus extra of a CD with words sung by Pio Terei.
