A is for Auckland
A beautiful, celebratory alphabet picture book about Auckland, with lively illustrations of landmarks from the entire Auckland area.
It covers natural landmarks like Rangitoto, the Waitakeres and various coastlines; man-made landmarks such as the Sky Tower, the Civic theatre, the zoo and Jellicoe Park - to name just a few. It also has a terrific geographic spread, as well as cultural.
