This delightful picture book for young children, created by Donovan Bixley, is a favourite in Aotearoa. Bixley is renowned for some of his other popular titles, such as Te Pamu o Koro Meketanara (Old MacDonald's Farm) and Looky Book, both of which are top-sellers in Aotearoa.

With the same gorgeous illustrations as the original book, the te reo Maori translation by Ross Calman retains the humour and vibrancy of the classic English-language edition.
