This beautifully illustrated book explores some of New Zealand's fascinating wildlife from A to Z

Its night and the little Kiwi is out for his first walk with his mother. The only problem is, the night is full of scary noises and the little Kiwi is terrified of the dark. Even when he meets other night creatures like morepork and possum, it makes no difference - the night is far to scary for him. But what happens to little Kiwi when he decides to venture out during the day?

When little Kiwi hatches from his egg, an accident launches him out into the world on an unexpected adventure. He's got to get back home to Mum, but cant really remember what she looks like. With help from a blue penguin he sets about meeting a variety of New Zealand birds in his quest to find his Mum.

Little Kiwi is out at night with his Dad, going into a part of the bush he has never been into before. While his Dad is busy collecting grubs and worms, little Kiwi meets a terrifying monster - or does he? Soon the bush is in an uproar and little Kiwi must face up to his fears.

Hundreds of years ago a tiny seedling begins its life in the dark, dank tangle of the New Zealand bush. Over time the landscape changes and the tree remains, but for how long?
