Kapai and the Kauri Trees
by Uncle Anzac ( Tommy Wilson and Jon Gadsby)
Softcover, 32pp, Random House NZ, 2008

Kapai the Kiwi books are popular books for the junior reader (or for parents to read to littlies).  With their rhyming lines and cute coloured illustrations, kids and adults love them!  The stories cleverly include a few Maori words, whose meanings kids will learn easily.

In Kapai and the Kauri Trees, Kapai the Kiwi decides to get up during the day, breaking his nocturnal habit.  He meets the local forest ranger, and ends up....FLYING!
