Chosen with 7 year olds in mind, this is an energetic collection of wonderful children's stories. These 25 stories are written by some of New Zealand's leading writers for children such as Kate de Goldi, Barbara Else, Sandy McKay and Jane Buxton, as well as other seasoned and up-and-coming writers. These stories are perfect to read aloud, plus they are also great for those children who are reading on their own. With a variety of topics and an emphasis on humour, this will become a much-loved collection for New Zealand children as well as those from further afield.
