Review by Jess on 18th December, 2010
5 stars "Fantastic Book"

This is a great book. Children love spotting where that cheeky fantail is going to turn up next. The bright colours and wide range of native animals makes this traditional song even more interesting.

Review by Lisa on 14th June, 2011
5 stars "A cheerful child's picture book with a kiwi twist."

As a kindergarten Teacher I am always on the look out for quality children's sto­rybooks and was not disappointed in this delightful book. When I read it to the children they were engaged with the familiar rhythm of a well loved story combined with pictures of well known kiwi characters, calling out the names of animals and birds that they knew.
A great buy! Completely recommended!

 
 
Review by Christine on 25th March, 2011
5 stars "Travel on the bus through NZ with the animals, birds and fish."

This is a wonderful take on a children's old favourite. The colours in the drawings are wonderful as are the number of things going on. The children just love to find all the different animals, fish and birds as they sing along.
