Crazy Kiwi Tops and Tails

Crazy Kiwi Tops and Tails is such a fun book!  Lots of fun for the whole family, although it is supposed to be a kids book. 

The idea of the book is to take 14 native New Zealand creatures and cut them in half.  Not literally, just their pictures and their descriptions.  Each page is cut thru the middle, so you can display a Kiwi top with a Dolphin bottom ( a "kiphin"), a Morepork bottom with a Tuatara head ( a "Tuapork") ....you get the idea! 

The descriptions are fun, as you can see illustrated below.  Great to read, great for kids to read, and lots of fun for kids and adults to mix and match.  And you'll all be learning about our New Zealand animals, whilst having lots of fun.
