Review by Luana on 24th October, 2016

Purchased on Mighty Ape

Grew up reading this book & when I saw it had to have it for my kids.

Description

Absorbing New Zealand tale of the Kuia (a grandmother) and the spider. Ideal for reading aloud. Age 5 to 8.

Accurately illustrates Maori cultural practices such as weaving, gathering food, making music - and clearly portrays the close-knit family connection between a kuia and her grandchildren.

NZ Govt Award Winner, Picture Book of the Year 1982.
