Hours of fun for the kids — and the adults!

The Looky Book is a puzzle book mostly for young children with 11 different puzzles all with colourful New Zealand landscapes, birds and animals.

Find the numbers with the crazy All Black lambs, spot the difference: the mischievous keas have changed around somebody’s campervan, find the animals hidden deep in the bush, match the farmers to their animals.

Plus spot what’s wrong in the weird and wonderful scenes: Should a cow be paragliding? Would an orca wear a Hawaiian shirt? And why is there a rainbow under the sea?

…chocka full of Kiwiana… a wonderfully illustrated stroll through a nostalgic rural New Zealand’ – Australian Woman’s Weekly

Old MacDonald’s Farm is an exemplar of the book illustrator’s art as well as a triumph of visual story-telling.’ – Magpies

‘…bright and fun characters jump off every page and enliven even the most jaded nursery songs!’ – Tots to Teens
