Where Is It? in town – Ned Barraud  $22

A ‘look and find’ book for all children who want to learn about New Zealand’s wildlife. A sister publication to the highly successful ‘Where is it?’, this book focuses on wildlife that Kiwi kids will encounter in town. Each page illustrates a different urban environment, including a garden both in the daytime and at night, the local botanic gardens, a creek and in the sea below the wharf, in long grass and above in the trees, in a native reserve, in a garden shed and in the country on the edge of town. There is also extra information about many of the animals featured. ‘Where is it in town?’ is a wonderfully interactive way to teach younger children about New Zealand’s natural world, with stunning illustrations to enhance their learning.
