They are vibrant, fun and informative and provide an easy way of learning te reo in contexts that have meaning for the children. The way certain concepts are dealt with has a tenderness of spirit that is rather special too. I particularly love He aha tenei?, where we talk about the treasures/taonga of our natural world. We travel widely in our work and always have a great response to these books. Highly recommended.” ~ Kat Ferns, Early Childhood co-ordinator with Southern REAPKiwi author Sharon HoltFind out more about Sharon and the Te Reo Singalong series on Sharon’s author page.
