Ruru and Kiwi are out for a stroll in the velvety black night. They have some Manuka honey with them to share. It is such a beautiful night they decide they have more than enough honey for a party!

Rata vines and Ponga and Flax are great for decorations, and the invites are sent out with the Puriri Moths. Frogs, Centipedes, Giant Weta and Gecko. Kauri Snails, Kakapo, Skinks and Tuatata – all arrive for the party!

The friends in the night

were all filled with delight

and wild excitement and glee

All the creatures of the NZ bush dance the night away together.

A clever kiwi rendition of the classic The Owl and the Pussycat.

If you don’t know the tune, listen to the original first, and this wonderful NZ version will come alive!

Winner of The Storylines Gavin Bishop Award, this story is perfect for kiwi kids or travellers looking to take a special something from NZ home to their families.

NZ Flora and Fauna abound in this beautifully illustrated picture book, and the night time party pops on the pages.

A double page spread at the back of the book introduces all the creatures that star in the book.
