Absolutely love Jo's wonderful books - they are true Kiwi classics. My son enjoyed the whole set, and we gifted a set to his preschool when he left too. Beautifully illustrated too!

As an early childhood kaiako, I love these books. With a mix of all official languages of nz, it's a great way to incorporate and inspire our young tamariki to learn both Te Reo and NZSign. The illustrations bring the story alive with many different things to look at and talk about as we enjoy each book.

Jo's books are just GREAT!

Waata the Weta is delightfully illustrated and excellent for visual literacy. Especially good for pre-school and Junior School aged children for developing vocabulary, observation from different angles/perspectives in the illustrations, interpreting graphic symbols/icons and reading words conveying dramatic effect. There is also a page of facts about the NZ Weta at the end.

My four year old grandson spent time poring over the detail in the illustrations before share reading it. Next morning he wanted to read it again while eating his breakfast!
