Kakapo Dance

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

New Zealand birds have such an amazing variety of sounds and movements! Dance and sing along with Kakapo and his friends in this read-aloud story about birdsong.

A playful readalong story about New Zealand bird song and movement, from award-winning author and illustrator Helen Taylor.

All the birds in the forest are singing and dancing. All except Kakapo.

Kakapo can't:

  • coo and glide like Kereru,
  • chirp and twirl like Fantail,
  • hop and chime like Bellbird, or
  • whistle and waddle like Whio.

But the other birds are having so much fun that he can't help joining them - in his own Kakapo way . . .

Thud, ching, tumble, shuffle, BOOM!
