A member of the extended family looks directly at the reader alongside a familiar toy.

Labels give the Maori and English words for what we see-colours, shapes, eyes, ears, nose, hair-and there are more connections to find in every illustration pair.

Words and images include the unexpected and imaginative alongside the familiar, making this more than just a first-words book.

This is a bilingual book to ask questions, point and talk, for adult reader and child to learn and explore together-or to enjoy quietly alone.
