Description

A member of the extended family looks directly at the reader alongside a familiar toy.

Labels give the Māori and English words for what we see—colours, shapes, eyes, ears, nose, hair—and there are more connections to find in every illustration pair.

Words and images include the unexpected and imaginative alongside the familiar, making this more than just a first-words book.

This is a bilingual book to ask questions, point and talk, for adult reader and child to learn and explore together—or to enjoy quietly alone.
