Te Ngahere I Te Po: The Forest at Night

By Kiri Lightfoot and Pippa Keel Situ

A perfect bedtime read about the creatures in the New Zealand bush at night.

"Of all the bilingual formats in print, this story's best reflects the current vernacular. The mix of English and te reo Maori, with neither language dominating, is what you might hear in a school playground, neighborhood cafe or any context where Kiwis use kupu they feel comfortable with incorporating in conversation." --Ann Packer, NZ Listener

As the sun sets, which creatures come to life as others drift to sleep?
