Description
What adult does not delight in engaging with a child when reading a look and find book? Where is it? is an original take on this concept, a New Zealand wildlife hunt for kiwi kids.
Every double-page spread illustrates a different habitat, including the forest, the mountains, the beach, the ocean, estuaries, and wildlife sanctuaries. In each of these habitats, there are many different creatures to be found, some easy, some more hidden. This book is a fantastic way to teach younger children about New Zealand's wildlife, and what lives where.
The book also includes a glossary, with interesting information on each creature, which will help expand a child's knowledge about New Zealand's remarkable natural world.
Stunning illustrations by leading New Zealand illustrator of natural history, Ned Barraud.
Aimed at the 4-7 age group, this book is a rich resource for parents and teachers.
