A lot of professionals and mothers know that moving a child from nappies to “big boy” or “big girl” toilet can be hard and not every child will be emotionally ready for it, which is why great little books like these are around to help encourage your child to take the big step to becoming a big kid. This is a great book for little New Zealanders growing into their heritage as well as being a very educational book for little growing minds outside of the country to learn a few little things about what makes New Zealand, New Zealand! From the classic fish and chips, to the endangered Kiwi bird and the large industry of sheep farming, it doesn’t matter! I’m sure your young ones will fall in love with Donovan’s illustrations as much as I have.įor any child around 18+ months or at the level of emotional readiness to start learning to use the potty, this little potty training book is fantastically gorgeous for your little ones who are ready to start moving away from nappies and onto the potty. The Great Kiwi ABC Book is beautifully illustrated with the letters of the alphabet and corresponding characters that will help your young one learn their ABC’s with Donovan’s beautiful visual aids.

Every character has so much life and colour and personality that you cannot help but fall in love with every one of them. He is an absolutely amazing illustrator who’s work will leap off the page with every turn. I will no doubt rave about Donovan Bixley until the end of my days.

The Great Kiwi ABC Book by Donovan Bixley.

The sequel is called, 'I Love Lemonade.' Guess what it's about. He's after kids who will to to the limits with him. Turkey is curious.what's that? You can see Sheep's wheels turning, and from that moment, the book becomes an awful 'will he? won't he?'Īnd just like kids do, the book pushes all the limits until they have tumbled down the hill, and Sheep has subtly convinced Quirky Turkey that the pile of perfectly a pile of Smarty tablets.Īdults are probably repelled by this book, but Sommerset doesn't care about us adults. Sheep is bored, and trouble is inevitable.

There is a pile of poo on the very first page.we see it. Told entirely in dialogue bubbles.this would be fun to perform as Reader's Theater. You can tell from the start that there's history. Maybe I've spent too much time around kids and their sense of humor has rubbed off on me.
