The Wonky Donkey Book & CD order quantity
  +   -
 
NZ$ 25.00 each
Paperback
Author: Words & music by Craig Smith Illustrated by Katz Cowley
Published by: Scholastic New Zealand
In Stock: 6
Winner of the Children's Choice Award, New Zealand Post Children's Book Awards 2010. Craig Smith's song, The Wonky Donkey, won an APRA Silver Scroll Award in 2008 for Best Children's Song of the Year.

This is a paperback book and CD set of the award-winning song The Wonky Donkey with hilarious illustrations that will have you laughing out loud! In the very funny, cumulative song, each page tells us something new about the donkey until we end up with a "spunky, hanky-panky cranky stinky dinky lanky honky-tonky winky wonky donkey". There is much fun to be had by listening to the song and trying to predict the new word for each clue given.

Everyone loved Old Hu-Hu. But nobody loved him quite as much as little Hu-Hu-Tu.

Sensitively written, this is a beautiful story of death and the celebration of life, with powerful, evocative illustrations by Rachel Driscoll.
Translated into Maori by Katerina Mataira.

Clubs: A Lolly Leopold Story order quantity

NZ$ 20.00 each
Paperback
Author: Kate De Goldi and Jacqui Colley
Published by: trapeze
In Stock: 1
At Lorenza (Lolly) Leopold's school every March the club's epidemic breaks out "like a giant nit plague... everyone's infected. Not me. I must be inoculated".
With the Barbie Club, Lego Club, Kitten Club and Harry Potter Club all having their own weird rules, what would a cynical girl do in protest at their silliness but form the Grass Growing Spectators' Club (membership 3).
An eclectic cast of characters - a seriously cool teacher, Ms Love (a trumpet-playing bogan with a tuatara tattoo), and obese family cat, Laughing Stock, and Lolly's friends Noryb and Eleda (backward spelling is a club rule) - feature in this wryly observed and visually slick picture book for readers aged 6 to 12.

De Goldi is an acclaimed author, critic and scholar of children's literature, and the marriage of her zingy text and Jacqui Colley's funky, colourful art establishes Clubs as a unique genre in New Zealand publishing.
Pure brilliance.
