Read Me Another One, Please!

Some minor wear to dustjacket and inscription inside.

For most of us, memories of being read to at bedtime are among the golden moments of childhood. Indeed, even 'big kids' can get as much pleasure from listening to old favourites as their younger siblings. The beautifully illustrated stories and poems in Read Me Another One, Please! have been thoughtfully selected with family enjoyment in mind. There are funny tales about messy saxophone players, conservation-minded fairies and intergalactic villains intent on taking over the airwaves. There are stories and poems about mischievous cats, brave dogs, adventurous tadpoles and confused chickens. Youngsters go swimming with eels, make friends in unexpected places, win an important swimming race, enjoy a birthday party, and go camping in their backyards. One little boy attends a tangi for the first time, while another discovers the secret to a good night's sleep. Many of New Zealand's most loved authors and illustrators have contributed to this collection, including multiple award winners Gavin Bishop, Dorothy Butler, Joy Cowley, Tessa Duder, Michael King and Margaret Mahy. Read Me Another One, Please! is a book to be treasured and one that belongs in every family's bookcase.
