Nga Wira o te Pahi

The wheels on the bus go round and round . . . Children will love to join in and sing along to this favourite nursery rhyme, now in te reo Maori!

"Ko nga wira o te pahi ka taka-huri-huri . . ." E mohio whanuitia ana tenei waiata. Engari, inaianei kei te haere te pahi huri noa i to tatou whenua ataahua o Aotearoa nei, a, ka mohio pea koe ki etahi o nga kaieke: a Kiwi, a Hoiho, a Tuatara, a Piwakawaka, a wai atu, a wai atu.

Ekea te pahi, waiatatia mai!

He parekareka tenei pukapuka pikitia ma te kohungahunga na Donovan Bixley, koia nei tetahi o nga kaita pikitia e tino kaingakautia ana ki Aotearoa nei, ko etahi o ana pukapuka atu, ko TE PAMU O KORO MEKETANARA [OLD MACDONALD'S FARM] me te LOOKY BOOK, he mea tino hokohoko atu i Aotearoa nei.

With the same gorgeous illustrations as the original book, the te reo Maori translation retains the humour and vibrancy of the classic English-language edition.
