Judges’ comments A great addition to the growing library of big book Te Reo titles. Super engaging and educational. This series is impressive in size, typographic detail and readability. The design is consistent internally and uses different typefaces to differentiate each title. The ‘Pohe, Rohe, Tohe’ on each spread for adult and child readers is nicely resolved. Ka rawe!
