Penguin Books are very excited about releasing a new Little Kiwi title to coincide
with Little Kiwi’s 15th birthday this month. New Zealand’s most popular
kiwi picture-book character has 15 books and a brand new one – Little Kiwi, Whose Nest is Best? published to
launch the birthday celebrations.
In this book, Little Kiwi learns that there’s no place better than his
own nest.
Little Kiwi is SO tired. Where can he find a quiet place to sleep?
Little Kiwi can’t sleep – Little Sister keeps kicking
and Dad is snoring! Little Kiwi decides to find
himself a better nest.
It’s too lonesome by himself so Little Kiwi joins Kaka–
but the Kaka chicks are far too noisy. The Keas’
mountain nest is too cold, Morepork’s is too high,
Blue Duck’s is too damp and Little Kiwi can’t even
squeeze into Fantail’s tiny nest.
Will Little Kiwi ever find the perfect place to rest?
It is a great bedtime tale to follow up the success of Time for Bed
Little Kiwi
targeting kids from 2-8 years.
