First published in 1998, this delightful treasury, which highlights the best in New Zealand writing (and illustrating) for children, is now back in print because of popular demand.
You will find all kinds of writing here — from complete picture books, poems and short stories, to extracts from full-length chapter books. Authors include favourites like Lynley Dodd, Joy Cowley and Gavin Bishop.
Also included are retellings of Maori myths and legends.
While most of the illustrations belong to the original version of the book or story they accompany, some illustrations have been drawn especially for this treasury, further adding to its charm.
