“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.” 

Nicky De Lautour, Senior Lecturer at AUT’s School of Education

“As a school that has students from diverse backgrounds, it is essential that we celebrate and learn about each other’s cultures. The StoryWorld series has made this easy and enjoyable. The books contain interesting information, as well as clear informative diagrams, whilst the fictional stories are captivating and beautifully illustrated. Thanks Clean Slate Press!"
