Titiro – Look – Gavin Bishop
Titiro iho, pātai ake, kōrero mai me tēnei pukapuka kupu tuatahi kia tūhuratia ngātahitia – whānau, kanohi, tae mai te… tākaro!
Look, ask and talk with this book of first words to explore together – family, faces, colours and… play!
Labels give the Māori and English words for what we see—colors, shapes, eyes, ears, nose, hair—and there are more connections to find in every illustration pair. Words and images are chosen to include the unexpected and imaginative alongside the obvious, making this more than just a first-words book.
This is a bilingual book to ask questions, point and talk, for adult reader and child to learn and explore together—or to enjoy quietly alone.
Format: This is a Board Book
Language: This book is written in both English and te reo Māori.
