Amazing Tales of Aotearoa is a retelling of the old Maori myths in a fresh, contemporary voice for today's children. One of the stories is told in rap; one is in comic-strip format. The stories are narrated by characters who live in a village called 'That-place', which somehow cl...osely resembles the village of Te Tii, in the Bay of Islands, where the author Glenn Colquhoun lived. The book is illustrated throughout in similarly humorous, funky style by Ali Teo. Irresistible!
