October Kiwi Kids Books: Day 11

Share a New Zealand book for children or teens: you would gift for a new baby. 
A treasure of NZ poems for children
Editor: Paula Green. 
Illustrator: Jenny Cooper. 
Publication: Random House New Zealand Children's, 2014; ISBN 9781775533566. 
Republished: Random House New Zealand, 2017; ISBN 9780143772194. 

I am a believer that newborn babies will listen to anything, as long as you read it with love.
What better than a treasury of poetry. 
I grew up with A. A. Milne poems, and I'm pleased that children from Aotearoa have this, and other, books of poetry about THEIR world, to grow up with and recite from. 

If you need any poetry recommendations, then Paula Green's website should be your first port of call.
