What could be a more fun? Bird beak clues to solve!
“In the dark forest, sneaking around,
prodding and poking its beak in the ground,
hunting for worms with its keen sense of smell
and feeling vibrations to find them as well . . .”
Pu the pūkeko and Ru the ruru pose a series of rhyming clues for children to solve. Whose beak belongs to whom? And who has the best beak??
New author Jez Smith has written a series of clever rhyming clues, punctuated with funny, smart remarks from onlookers – and judges – Pu and Ru.
Talented wildlife illustrator Ned Barraud gives readers a sneak peak of the beak to help them solve the puzzle before they turn the page for the big reveal!
Jez Smith is a zookeeper, animal trainer, conservationist and storyteller. He has worked in zoos for nearly three decades, dedicating his life to building a better future for wildlife. He believes that storytelling is a powerful tool for teaching and connecting people with nature. “When people feel connected, they care and when they care enough, they take action. Stories can change the world!”
Jez currently works at the world-renown Auckland Zoo, where he can be seen flying birds, enthralling audiences and telling stories that matter.
Ned Barraud studied art in Otago and Illustration at Victoria University and has since authored and illustrated a number of children’s books and journals including the ‘Explore and Discover’ series about different ecosystems in New Zealand.
