Waikato Times (NZ), August 2014 –
Bright, bold, colourful and engaging … a delightful book, perfect for sharing with littlies aged 2 upwards and it may well be they will have less trouble mastering the language than the adults.
Gisborne Herald (NZ), July 2014 –
The text is simple, clear and easy to read, perfect for the recommended age group of three years old and above [and] a great resource for those learning Maori.
Kiwi Families (NZ), July 2014 –
This book is a particularly good way for children (and adults!) to learn the name of animals in Maori. It’s also a brilliant way to practice some basic Maori sentence structures.
Tall, Short, Tiny and a Pickle (NZ), June 2014 –
[It] is lovely, and has been well-received by my boys. This book is delightful, with adorable illustrations that hold a child’s attention for quite some time. It offers them a fun challenge, both with figuring out who they are looking for, and remembering the Maori name of each animal … I love a book that is interactive and encourages my children to think, and this fits the bill perfectly.
The Golden Adventures of a Very Dark Horse, June 2014 –
I love, love a kid’s book that is both entertaining and educational too, but in a gentle, unassuming way. This book is a big hit in our household.
Book Trailers 4 Kids, June 2014 –
This is great as a teaching tool for so many children who struggle with the concept of how facial expressions can tell us so much about each other [and] for anyone learning te reo Maori.
