Wobble, Waddle, Toddle - by Anne Hunter

Wobble, Waddle, Toddle is a beautiful rhyming verse book with stunning illustrations that focuses on the creatures of New Zealand’s Deep South: the ocean and windswept lands between NZ and Antarctica.

'Wobble, waddle, toddle, we're the Little Blues. Our homes are holes or burrows: they're cosy for a snooze.  Our backs are blue, our bellies white; all day we're out at sea.  There's water to drink and fish to find: we guzzle and gulp with glee!'

Each 2-page spread is self-contained: like a poem, focusing on one specific animal.

Wobble, Waddle, Toddle is an inspiring and delightful introduction for younger readers to get acquainted with the wonderful creatures that call New Zealand and our surroundings home.
