CUSTOMER REVIEWS

12 Jun, 2023
its a book and idea my Kindergarten class in Australia were able to relate to and have enjoyed immensely, learning about different concepts such as 'living off the land' eating bush tucker, points of the compass, different parts of New Zealand but the especially loved the experiences he had along the way. The fact that he wrote the words and his Mum drew the pictures is a family working together which is something we promote in our room. I recommend this book 100%
