Where’s Kiwi Having Fun?

09 February 2021

This is a bright colourful kiwi take on Where’s Wally. Children can read rhyming verses on each page relating to various sport and recreational pastimes all with the added adventure built in of finding Kiwi and his iconic friends. If this is not enough fun then there are also lists at the back of the book with more to find and spot in each scenario. The illustrations are creative, interesting and help transport the reader and engage them in the pages topic and show the ethnic and cultural diversity of New Zealand.

It also entertains the older kids – my daughter – who is older than the intended audience (20) was kept busy for ages and loved finding other images hidden within the pages.
