Reviews
Donovan Bixley is truly a national treasure. Just when you groan and think, 'do we really need another book about Aotearoa's birds,' along comes Bixley with his latest book - a quality hardback production with rounded page corners and design and images so bright that it just about flies off the pages - and you think, 'yes, we did need this book.' -- Dionne Christian * Kete *
A brilliant introducation to New Zealand's forest birds * Dorothy Butler Children's Bookshop *
Charming. * Kete *
A great introduction to teach kids about the birds they see (and hear) in their backyards. * Unity Books *
Perfectly pitched to younger readers keen to know more about both living and extinct species. * The Sapling *
