Format:Paperback
Kapiti Plain is a beautifully illustrated African story/poem which adopts the repetitive structure of 'The House That Jack Built'. As a primary school teacher this book has been ideal when teaching performance poetry and can be the cause of great discussions on the ethics of hunting. The stunning illustrations, rhythm and tale are sure it capture the attention of children and adults alike.

You might not initially be drawn to this book as the illustrations aren't as good as many other multi-cultural books. However, it's a useful book for both home and school. Read more
