Rangitoto - NZ Post Non-fiction 2010


The book Rangitoto tells the history of our volcanic island in the Hauraki Gulf, how the volcano was created, and the Maori lore of the island. It also explains the flora and fauna on the island.

I liked Rangitoto because it uses descriptive language, and is also easy to understand for 9 year olds and over. If a parent read the book to a 7 year old, they would understand it too.
The facts just blow my mind and I have learnt heaps of new things by reading all of them.
The book also has great illustrations, very realistic.
It is like you are on Rangitoto.

Good luck with the competition. I think this is a great non-fiction book.
