Do-Whacky-Do
AUTHOR: Joy Cowley
“I started reading this book to my own children after I heard the librarian at Ponsonby Library reading it, and from that moment we were hooked. It has one of the most catchy literacy-rich uses of visual language and a wonderful use of punchy alliteration. I’m now sharing it with performance drama students and, hopefully, my future grandchildren.”

Catching Fish
AUTHOR: Tanya Batt
“Catching Fish is a delightful, funny story that begs children to join in. They can make the sounds of the clothes in the washing machine and on the line, help Jake go fishing and jump up to try and catch the fish from the sky. I really like Natalia Vasquez’ quirky, collage-style illustrations. It’s interesting to see all the different materials and photos that she has used to create the illustrations.”

AUTHOR: Kaitrin McMullan and Liz Weir
“You think the old woman swallowed a fly? Kao! This is our kuia, and what a puku nui she has! This wonderful book will make you korikori with laughter.”
