Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6-- A browsing book that features the land and peoples of New Zealand. The excellent quality, full-color photographs begin with the native Maori and their ceremony to welcome visitors. Unique geological features, such as the volcanoes; geysers; hot, bubbling mud; and glaciers next to rain forests are then presented. Land animals and sea creatures are also described. The last page has a map of the two-island nation, but there is no world map to place the country in context. Vital statistics, such as area, population, largest cities, and principal exports are provided, as well as a miniscule index. The arrangement of the lush photographs on every page suggests that the book might be used with younger audiences, but the reading level is challenging. In addition, unfamiliar vocabulary is not always defined or explained, and there is no glossary. --Frances E. Millhouser, Reston Regional Library, VA
