Themes: New Zealand birds/ Stories in rhyme

Dave Gunson, with his wonderful quirky but never comical illustrations and Anne Hunter with her all embracing rhymes, have worked together to create this book about well and not so well known New Zealand birds. There is useful information about the twelve birds as well as their Maori names and a whole page full of their feathers.

Preschool up / Age 4 up

Please note I am entering this as Wellington is being racked by earthquakes so if there are any boo-boos please forgive me. I will pick them up as I look at it when things are calmer.
