  +   -
 
NZ$ 19.00 each
Paperback
Author: Kyle Mewburn Illustrated by Rachel Driscoll
This book is a Finalist in the Picture Book Category, New Zealand Post Children's Book Awards 2010.

Everyone loved Old Hu-Hu. But nobody loved him quite as much as little Hu-Hu-Tu. Old Hu-Hu is a thoughtful tale of young Hu-Hu-Tu's search for understanding of what has happened to his beloved Old Hu-Hu, who flew all the way to the moon (or so they said), then fell down dead. Sensitively written, this is a beautiful story of death and the celebration of life, with powerful, evocative illustrations by Rachel Driscoll.

This book is a Finalist in the Picture Book Category, New Zealand Post Children's Book Awards 2010.

All the farmyard animals - the jersey cow, the collie, bantam hens, sheep and lambs, ducks, kune kune, and the ginger cat - come to the cowshed door. They all come mooing, baaing, clucking, barking, quacking and meowing and they all come bearing gifts, true kiwi gifts like a rugby ball, a pavlova, jandals, a Kiwi toy. And who do you think they saw? Little Baby Jesus by the cowshed door.
The classic Christmas story is given a New Zealand twist in this warm and evocative retelling, with gorgeous illustrations by Gavin Bishop.

The Wonky Donkey Book & CD order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 25.00 each
Paperback
Author: Words & music by Craig Smith Illustrated by Katz Cowley
This book is a Finalist in the Picture Book Category, New Zealand Post Children's Book Awards 2010.

This is a paperback book and CD set of the award-winning song The Wonky Donkey with hilarious illustrations that will have you laughing out loud!
In the very funny, cumulative song, each page tells us something new about the donkey until we end up with a "spunky, hanky-panky cranky stinky dinky lanky honky-tonky winky wonky donkey".
There is much fun to be had by listening to the song and trying to predict the new word for each clue given.
Craig Smith's song, The Wonky Donkey, won an APRA Silver Scroll Award in 2008 for Best Children's Song of the Year.

Katarina order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 30.00 each
Hardback
Author: Gavin Bishop
DoP - August 2008 First published in 1990.
Based on the true story of Gavin Bishop's great aunt, Katarina is the fascinating story of a young Maori woman's life in the early 1860s. It tells of her long and treacherous journey from the Waikato to Otago to join her Scottish husband. This poignant story gives us a very clear insight into Katarina's conflicts between the old Maori ways and the 'new' Pakeha pioneer ways. It is also an amazing snapshot of the times - the land wars between the English and Tainui counter-pointed with the gold rush in Gabriel's Gully, Otago. Gavin Bishop's beautiful and authentic illustrations are even more stunning in this re-issue, having been rescanned and reproduced by the latest technology.
