What others say about Kei te Peke Ahau:
“Your books have been welcomed with great interest at my centre. My favourite is Kei te peke ahau and I know our children love this as well. The CD it makes it so much easier to get the pronunciation right. We’ve also loved using the CD without the book, as the children have memorised the words and actions without having to refer to the book. It’s so catchy and it really does help with our te reo. Your books are AMAZING and have made such a vital and fun push for biculturalism in our centre.” ~ Margie Saufoi, early childhood teacher
