Description
Little Kiwi, Whose Nest Is Best? by Bob Darroch is a delightful bedtime adventure and part of the bestselling Little Kiwi series. Experience a journey of discovery as Little Kiwi seeks a quiet place to rest.
Little Kiwi is so tired, but he can't sleep. Little Sister keeps kicking and Dad is snoring, making their nest far from restful. In search of tranquility, Little Kiwi decides to find himself a better nest.
Initially, he joins Kaka, but the Kaka chicks prove to be too noisy. The adventure continues as Little Kiwi explores different nests. Unfortunately, none are suitable: the Keas' mountain nest is too cold, Morepork's nest is too high, and Blue Duck's nest is too damp. He even tries Fantail's tiny nest but can't squeeze in.
Will Little Kiwi ever find the perfect place to rest?
