Watch Out, Snail!
Kia Mataara, e Ngata!
Written by Gay Hay, illustrated by Margaret Tolland
Maori translation by Piripi Walker
NZ Post Book Awards – Picture Book
Reviewed by Bella, 10 years old, interested in reading
fiction, dance and animals.
This book is about a snail being part of the foodchain. The snail in the book is a
Powelliphanta Snail, which is native to New Zealand. It shows that those who hunt are hunted. I think that the best features of Watch Out, Snail are the detailed
pictures which have different textures and that it is also printed in Maori.
I think this book is best suited to 4 to 6 year olds who
like bugs, insects and NZ animals.
My 5 year old brother really liked it!
It could win the Picture Book category because young
children will love it, it is written in 2 languages, and it is about a New
Zealand topic.
