Rangitoto: te toka tū moana – the rock standing in the ocean by Maria Gill


The story of Rangitoto from when it erupted in the Hauraki Gulf, about 600 years ago up to the present day.

It is set out like a picture book with factual information on each page that links directly to the story. The presentation style with little packets of information and good quality illustrations make it a book you can pick up and put down to come back to later.

Recommended for reading age 10+ but younger students will get a lot out the book as well with guidance from a teacher or older student.
