Roarrr! | Ancient Creatures of Aotearoa

Donovan Bixley digs up the creatures that called Aotearoa home long ago — monstrous flyers, sharp-toothed divers, heavyweight parrots and armoured dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs are usually somebody else's dinosaurs. This one is ours, which is what makes it such a good read for kids who already know their T-rex from their triceratops and are ready for something closer to home.

Bixley delves into the fossils, geeks out over bones and turns up New Zealand's own living fossil along the way. The facts come in small, readable pieces with big bright artwork, so it works for a quick bedtime spread or a long sit-down session.

• Ancient New Zealand wildlife, illustrated and explained
• Short, readable facts alongside big bright artwork
• From award-winning New Zealand author and illustrator Donovan Bixley
• Pairs with Buzz! and Splash! in the same series
