I really liked the book Rats by Gavin Bishop it was different to all the other books Ive read because of the illustrations they were really unique it was just like the Pied Piper except more modern

I loved the Snake and Lizard book because, it's funny and i didn't think that a lizard and a snake would get along but they do and together they are very funny.

Loved 'Tahi, one lucky Kiwi. Some of the younger children had previously seen him at the zoo. The fact boxes were full of interesting information too.

I loved the Mad Tadpole adventure,because It`s funny and exicting and a little bit quirky. You would never think a book about tadpoles would be any good but it is awesome!!!

I really like "The Kings Bubbles" becuase it reminds me of the days when i was a little kid and i used to play with bubbles. The illustrations are also evry amusing and unique.

I really enjoyed this book as it has heaps of details in it about birds in NZ.
I liked the pictures, as it gave me a good idea about what the birds actually looked like.
