This illustrated New Zealand Picture Book has multi readership properties. After an introduction about this gorgeous NZ native bird, the left side pages have rhyming text to tell the story, and the right side are in sophisticated picture book form with more text and interesting information above/below the illustrations.

For even more about the Kereru, just look in the back of the book for facts about its history and threats, how to look after them and some websites to check out.

Brilliant!
