Product reviews for listing 9155: Tama and the Taniwha -  Written by Melanie Koster

"Don't put your puku in the water! The taniwha will get you!"

Tama is down at the lake with his sisters and grandparents. When his sisters tease him about a taniwha being in the water, he takes a deep breath and dives in anyway. What is that wonderful swirling, sparkling apparition? Is it a taniwha... or is it something else altogether?

This story about sibling teasing and family fun will resonate with everyone. Monica Koster's illustrations are a delight, complementing the text beautifully.
