New Zealand Post Book Awards 2010 Picture Books


Old Hu-hu by Kyle Mewburn
Reviewed by Dimitrios Ramaiyah

Old Hu
hu dies and Huhu Tu misses him a lot. He looks everywhere in the forest for Old Huhu, and finally realises that he hasn't completely gone, because Huhu Tu finds him in his heart.
5 to 7 year olds would love this book because it is sad but interesting all the way through.
Dimitrios gives this book a 70% chance of winning the picture book category.





Cowshed Christmas
by Joy Cowley

reviewed by Mariah Rennie-Younger

This story is about farm animals which come mooing, clucking (or whatever their sound is) into the farmyard shed.
Who have they come to see ?
- you guess because it is Christmastime.
This picture book has a very simple storyline .I think the pictures are cool and this would be good to read and show younger children.
