The book begins with a glimpse of the animals that lived in New Zealand just before people arrived. It then goes back in time, providing snapshots of particular periods, as far back as 180 million years ago.

The range of animals covered in this book is remarkable: moa and other extraordinary birds that are now extinct; crocodilians and turtles; the shark-toothed dolphin and giant penguins; dinosaurs such as sauropods and theropods; as well as those resilient survivors who can still be found in New Zealand today, such as kiwi, native bats, giant weta and tuatara.

Beautifully illustrated and impeccably researched, this is a wonderful and intriguing way for children to learn something about the origins of New Zealand.

Find the most bugs hiding under the leaves in this creepy crawly counting game.

Each player selects a large bug to build during the game (options include the Sheildbug, Cinnabar Moth, Honeybee or Earwig), with fun facts included on the board. Players take turns spinning the spinner to reveal a number. Players then all take the same amount of leaves as the number shown on the spinner. They turn over the leaves to reveal different bugs. Count up the bugs to reveal the winner of the round and select a piece of the bug to build. The winner is the first player to complete their bug.

This game also comes with a reference board, showing each of the bugs which can be hidden around the house to make a fun hide and seek game.
