Welcome to the Kiwi Kids Book Chat with school librarians Penny Walch and Julie Huggins. This week we check out the books which feature NZs great outdoors! We realised early on that this needed to be split into two episodes, so this one features some fabulous fiction. Look out for an episode featuring some just as fabulous non-fiction. Apologies for some shimmying at the end - we talk about doing episodes about Christmas buying... but by the time you here THIS you will have heard THAT!!!
