The legend of TE MATA O RONGOKAKO : The sleeping giant

Back of book: Annelisa Ferguson is a qualified Early Childhood teacher living in Hawkes Bay. Annelisa was a student teacher at Te Mata Kindergarten when the Kindergarten was researching the legend of Te Mata O Rongokako - The Sleeping Giant, whom the Kindergarten is named after. During her time at Te Mata Kindergarten, Elizabeth Hooper, illustrated this copy of the book. We decided to publish the book as it was a useful and valuable resource. We asked local artist Sophie Blokker to illustrate the published copy for us. 

This book tells of the legend of Te Mata o Rongokako the Sleeping Giant which is a prominent land mark and Maori legend in Havelock North.

This is a great resource for school libraries -- great illustrations and content -- NZ Landmarks in picture book form.
