“ISBN 978 1877 467 073
"Creatures: Aotearoa" is a very junior art book and full of ideas for budding young artists. The images chosen for this title are a fun and colourful look at animals from the works of New Zealand artists from the 19th century to today – these are not all instantly recognisable images which is refreshing. I particularly like the strawberry cows! The accompanying text is spare and haiku like – the author drawing his inspiration from comments made by some pupils in a Karori Normal School creative writing class.
The book is attractively produced and the paper is robust enough for the younger reader. Owen’s book would enhance any school collection.
