Sensational Survivors by Sandra Morris

reviewed by Cheralyn Dunwell
Sensational Survivors is about New Zealand's wildlife, from the ancient beginning of New Zealand.

It tells how most of the animals came to be here. There are also interesting facts about some animals and birds that are found only in New Zealand. This book is filled with facts and also little stories. There is a very touching tale about an old Black Robin called Old Blue.

It is re-written in a lovely way and it is gorgeous to look at. The book is filled with very detailed, interesting and cute pictures. I have learnt new facts by reading this book.

My Grandpa and I both enjoyed reading it. So I would recommend this book to readers of all ages, sharing with an experienced reader if you are young.
