A mother snapper warned her kids, “Stay hidden in the weed, as whales and people fishing reckon you’re a tasty feed.” The baby fish, however, swam without a fear, not thinking for a moment that danger could be near. In this Kiwi version of Aesop’s tale of The Lion and the Mouse, a young snapper strikes a bargain with the whale about to eat her. Originally one of the popular Kiwi Corker series, the story of The Whale and the Snapper has been abridged and translated into te reo Māori in this bilingual edition. Jo van Dam’s flawless rhyme and rhythm romps along with good-natured Kiwi banter telling a story in which children learn that size does not define one’s usefulness. Richard Hoit’s glowing illustrations bring the underwater world to glorious life.
