Can you find all the chocolate fish? Is it possible for kiwi to fly? Can you spot the difference? See Aotearoa New Zealand through the eyes of award-winning artist Donovan Bixley in The Sweet As Looky Book.

Use your finest skills to seek out pirates in the Bay of Islands and birds in Rakiura Stewart Island. Get in a car and check out the Coromandel Beach Hop or jump on a bike and see the Central Otago rail trail. Be a daredevil with flightless birds flying over Taupo or try a calmer option by rafting through the Waitomo Caves. Get back to nature and experience the black sand beaches of Taranaki or the epic winds of Wellington, and when that is all too much, have a soak in the hot pools in Hamner Springs.

Take a tiki tour through Aotearoa for a spot of sweet as silliness.

The Looky Book series continues with a hilarious 24-page puzzle book that allows you to travel around Aotearoa without leaving home. Providing hours of quality fun for children aged five and up, with loads of extra details added in for adults.

Praise for the series:

'Children and adults alike will be laughing out loud' READ NZ
