Te reo edition: I’m an inky octopus swimming in the sea, whizzing through the water... YOU CAN’T CATCH ME! A fun rhyming game of tag between an inky octopus and her friend Jellyfish.

He Wheke Wai Mamangu Au presents educational facts about the wheke (octopus) in a fun and colourful way for early readers – where it lives, and what makes it unique in its realm. The story and illustrations not only provide interesting information bites, they also will appeal to children’s imaginations, and are elevated by the translator’s use of te reo Māori.
