Child's play

THE LITTLEST LIFEGUARD

by Vanessa Hatley-Owen and Lisa Allen

(Upstart, $19.99)

Little kids always want to copy the big kids, as author and school librarian Vanessa Hatley-Owen well knows. A family holiday at the beach started her off on this story of the littlest one who gets in the way, but there are things even the youngest can do to help while the big kids are on the waves. It’s all about team work, and older lifeguards help nurture the spark.

THE BEACH ACTIVITY BOOK: 99 Ideas for Activities

by the Water Around Aotearoa New Zealand by Rachel Haydon and Pippa Keel 

(Te Papa Press, $35) 

Much broader than the title suggests, from its nicely old-school cover to the final glossary and kupu Māori – te reo words with English translations – this comprehensive compendium of science and art will find a place in every classroom.

FISH AND CRAB

by Marianna Coppo (Chronicle Books, $37.99)
