ILLUSTRATOR: Evan Heasman

No matter how hard she would try, Kara from Kakapo just couldn't quite seem to master the art of flying. But with optimism, determination and a little creative thinking can Kara still achieve her dream?

This delightful picture book is the story writing debut from Wellington zookeeper
Danni Rae. Her story is paired with stunning illustrations from Northland artist Evan Heasman (also as Soju Shots), which are a visual feast with vibrant colours and layers of detail to keep both children and adults enthralled.

Danni wrote Kara the Kakapo, which is the first in a series of animal adventures, as a
way to share her passion for conservation with the youngest of readers.

As a zookeeper each day I have the opportunity to talk to children about the wonders of animals and conservation. I wanted to use this book as a way to allow children to connect with these animals at home as well, says Danni.

Great for Small to Medium Dogs
Size: Critter Zoo, Color: 5 Different Animals
I bought these for my boys to play with. One of them loves to tear the squeaker out of anything that, well, squeaks. These do more than squeak! So far, they have survived the terrorist chihuahua/piranha boy! They’re pretty awesome toys and my kids’ favorites! They’re sturdy and goofy looking! I’m writing this review a couple months after my purchase. One reason why is I want to “buy again” (just because they have their squeakers, doesn’t mean they haven’t been chewed on!). I have a large, long chihuahua (<—— terrorist/piranha boy) and a min-pin mix. These toys are the perfect size for them. There is some chew damage from the terrorist but considering he can get a squeaker or of a Lamb Chop within 5 minutes, I’d say these toys are the best I’ve run across in quality, thickness of the material, minimal stuffing and durability. Highly, strongly, encourage you to, purchase if you’re looking for good toys for small to medium dogs!

Great variety for a good price!
Size: Critter Zoo, Color: 5 Different Animals
We have a grand puppy that is full of energy, and loves her toys! The squeakier the better! We ordered these, and we enjoy introducing a new toy each time they come over. Good quality, strong squeakers, and a happy puppy!

Funny toys
Size: Critter Zoo, Color: 5 Different Animals
Fun toy for our 90 pound doodle, but don’t expect them to last forever. Goofy eyes and features make it a fun toy. If a big dog sits down with it, they will be able to pull it apart. The bird lasted about 5 days with solid supervision. Let’s be honest, no toy is indestructible. The price and number of funny creatures makes this a good buy in my opinion.
