REVIEWS
"Illustrator Paul Beavis has captured the tūī’s cheeky nature and antics brilliantly as they arrive for a snack like children flocking to a lolly shop. Just like children, they don’t want to miss out, and their behaviour in the tree is hilarious."
Adele Stephens at WhatBookNext.com
'Ring Ting Tūi!' is a wonderful read aloud for younger students. The illustrations are bright, colourful and entertaining and contain lots of humour. The text contains lots of rhyming words that are fun to say and share with students.”
Angela Thompson at Read NZ
"The comical facial expressions and body language of the rascally tūī have been brilliantly captured by Paul Beavis and add greatly to the visual appeal of this book."
Lyn Potter at NZ Booklovers
"Beavis treats us to a visual feast involving knobbles, gnarls, wrinkles and a most unaesthetic wētā. But that is precisely what’s so appealing about his style to many children and adults, myself included."
