Reviews

You will already know the words, but you won't have seen such a cute illustration of this catchy song before.
*Tots to Teens*

An excellent gift for expat Kiwis with children who miss our distinctive fauna.
*OH! Baby*

Donovan Bixley has become a one-man, award-gobbling illustrating machine.
*New Zealand Listener*

A kiwi take on the classic song, beautifully illustrated and informative on local animals.

This is a fantastic book. The illustrations are beautiful and my children love looking at this book. We will definitely look for more books illustrated by Donovan Bixley. My twin boys are almost two and they anticipate the next page and get so excited.

My recent purchase of this book has proved a "real hit" with the preschool children I teach. The detail on each page, the New Zealand influence, humour,finding the fantail on each page (to name a few special things) means the children are always "involved" every time I read it. I love reading stories and this one has a special place in my library!
