Reviews
A reviewer on Kiwi reviews ~ “The illustrations are outstanding and although the butterfly has a comic like face, the tui looks extremely lifelike and it’s vibrant colours are suitably captured. Each page is a visual feast and younger readers would be able to follow the story by the pictures alone.
“I read this book to Year 4 students and they thoroughly enjoyed it. With the eggs ‘disappearing’, I was able to incorporate some math into the story; if there were 11 eggs to start with and the wasps got to 6, how many were left? They particularly liked that it was set in New Zealand with birds and fauna that was familiar to them. The book is entertaining whilst also teaching children about the life cycle of the forest ringlet butterfly. After reading the book, I had a discussion with the children about how pests can affect a species survival and what we could do about it, which lead to a lengthy discussion about wasps!
“This is a fabulous book that would make a wonderful gift and would be great for any children that are interested in wildlife and the outdoors. The illustrations really help to bring this book to life and I highly recommend it.”
