Introduction by Margaret Mahy: Kiwi Kids Collection

By MARGIE THOMSON

A collection of those interminable jokes and rhymes of childhood games with words that persist down the decades and which each generation of 6- or 7-year-olds discover as if for the first time and repeat mercilessly.

There's a mix of both the kiwi and the universal in this new collection, and it's all good fun.
