Working closely with the author (and with help from her tamariki), Stephanie Huriana Fong has captured all the word play in sparkling Maori text. The original English runs as subtitles.
Description
This bilingual Maori and English edition marks ten years since the first publication of I Need a New Bum! All of the colourful main text is in Maori, following our hero as he searches for a tou hou/new bum, after discovering that his current one has a crack.
'Subtitles' in English run at the bottom of the page, helping readers of all ages to understand and learn.
