The New
Zealand Book Council came up with a list of books by New
Zealanders that they reckon every kid should have read by the age of 12. I decided to check out the ones I haven't
read and post about the ones I agreed were good (in no particular order).
The first one I have chosen is The Little Yellow Digger by Betty and Alan Gilderdale. This was number 16 on the list.
This is a fun book to read aloud. And the illustrations
are good too. The little yellow digger gets stuck and they have to bring out a
bigger digger to get it out. The genesis
of the story was in a real event. One of
the authors' grandchildren told them about a digger getting stuck next to their
house.
