For children aged 3+. Susan Brocker’s passion for horses is evident in this heart-warming true story, featuring the headstrong and wilful horse Tomboy. She takes the reader on the arduous, action-packed journey that the spirited adventurers and their four trusty horses undertake. At the end of the book, some background information explains about the two explorers, the route they took in the South Island and the purpose of the trip.
Reviews
Rebekah Lyall, NZ Booklovers ~ This would make for such a wonderful book to kickstart learning within the classroom. Students could explore everything from the life of early explorers to matauranga Māori, from native flora and fauna to artistic style and much more, the possibilities are endless.
