Opening sentence
He whero te tae o ngā mea katoa i roto i tēnei kete. In this kete everything is red.
A delightful bi-lingual colour and object identification book.
When you open each beautifully decorated kete that can be found on each page the reader/listener discovers a range of new objects to learn about. This book is perfect to introduce readers to the names of colours and everyday objects in English and Te Reo.
Children and readers alike will love the excitement of lifting up each kete to discover what is inside. As well as learning new vocabulary the childs hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills will be supported to develop as they lift each kete.
The illustrations are bright and beautiful and capture the reader's attention and promote a love of reading.
The translations are very well done and people of all ages will benefit from having te reo in their everyday lives. There are also questions included for parents and caregivers to enhance the learning of both languages.
This is fabulous bi-lingual book that all will enjoy.
