Scholastic NZ (then Ashton Scholastic) started publishing children's picture books in English and Maori back in 1989 and have built up a proud record in this field.
Their latest title, Magpie Mischief, (which won the Joy Cowley Award), or in Maori Manu Haututu, , continues their fine tradition. This very funny tale about Pop (a beloved grandfather) and his pet magpie called Pie by June Peka is based on a true family story. Pop grows prize vegies and Pie just makes mischief. Hilarious. I loved it.
