There’s a cool crab in my castle!
He’d like to be the king.
He sits there on his throne, watching everything.
The newest addition to Dawn McMillan’s Nature Stories series takes readers to the rocky shore, where crab meets sandhopper, snapper, kina, manta ray and more.
Enticing rhymes and Nikki Slade Robinson’s evocative illustrations bring the beach to life. With a fun ensemble of seaside creatures and text in Māori and English, this is an educating and entertaining read for young readers and their whānau, out in time for summer.
Ko Pāpaka te kingi ki tātahi i a ia ka noho
Ki tana pā onepū rangatira, ka tirotiro haerre ai ki ōna hoa taha moana
nō rātou ka mahi i ā rātou mahi ki tātahi.
Author Dawn McMillan, Illustrated by Nikki Slade Robinson, Māori translation by Stephanie Huriana Fong
