Another 30 NZ Stories for Children



Some really good short stories here that can be read to your class as a whole, or the kids can read them independently. The stories are written by some of our well known NZ authors such as Patricia Grace and Roger Hall, as well as many authors that I don`t know.
My two favourites were "The Giant with eyes on her knees" which is about a giant who loves to go splashing in the sea, but it makes her knee-eyes sore so she asks the villagers to help her; plus "Takes Two" which is letters from a mad-scientist who is experimenting with joining two types of animals together, such as a Frog and a Goat to make a Froat.
Really enjoyable stories.
