Where Is It In Town?: A wildlife hunt for kiwi kids

Description

A 'look and find' book for all children who want to learn about New Zealand's wildlife. A sister publication to the highly successful 'Where is it?', this book focuses on wildlife that Kiwi kids will encounter in town. Each page illustrates a different urban environment, including a garden both in the daytime and at night, the local botanic gardens, a creek and in the sea below the wharf, in long grass and above in the trees, in a native reserve, in a garden shed and in the country on the edge of town. There is also extra information about many of the animals featured. 'Where is it in town?' is a wonderfully interactive way to teach younger children about New Zealand's natural world, with stunning illustrations to enhance their learning.

Ned Barraud has been illustrating children's books since 2000, after studying art at Victoria University. He has illustrated seven books in the highly successful 'Explore and Discover' series about different ecosystems in New Zealand, and seven other books on his own, including 'Watch out for the Weka', and 2018's acclaimed book on insects 'New Zealand's Backyard Beasts'. Always fascinated by the form and beauty of the animal kingdom, Ned produced 'Where is it? A wildlife hunt for Kiwi kids', in 2020, and since then 'What happened to the Moa', 'New Zealand's Backyard Birds', and 'Incredible Journeys: New Zealand Wildlife on the Move'. He lives in Wellington with his wife and three children.
