A New Zealand book with beautiful pictures. The illustrations are very colourful and life-like. It is an easy book to read aloud. Maori Art and language is celebrated right through out the story with a great picture of the weaving of a kete.
I liked the way the Kuia and the spider argue, and yet they are friends really. Both are lonely and so this is the only way they communicate. The story also shows a typical kiwi weekend which we all can relate to. The only thing I didnt like about this book was that it did not have a proper ending, it just trailed off at the end.
