PURINI RANGO
Joy Cowley & Philip Webb
Na Katerina Mataira nga kupu Maori

Scholastic $18.99

Hats off to Scholastic NZ who for many years have frequently published their picture books in both English & Maori. Here is the latest with Maori translation provided by the noted translator Katerina Te Heikoko Mataira

Once there was a frog who had been a prince.
He knew he could become a prince again
if he was kissed by a princess
and that would not be difficult.
A princess lived in a large stone castle,
a few hops up the road.

An entertaining twist on an old fairytale.
