Author(s): Ned Barraud

NZ - Childrens Picture Books | Children - Activity | NZ - Natural History

This is a ‘look and find’ book for all children who want to learn about New Zealand’s wildlife, focusing on wildlife that Kiwi kids will encounter in town.


Stunningly illustrated by Ned Barraud, each page illustrates a different urban environment, including a garden both in the daytime and at night, the local botanic gardens, a creek, the sea below a wharf, in long grass and the trees above, 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.
