A New Zealand book every kid should read before the age of 12 - The Wheels on the Bus illustrated by Donovan Bixley

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 Wheels on the Bus is an irritating little tune that gets stuck in your brain.  But the illustrations in this book are just fabulous and very Kiwi (New Zealand like).
