Ekea te pahi, waiatatia mai! He parekareka tenei pukapuka pikitia ma te kohungahunga na Donovan Bixley, koia nei tetahi o nga kaita pikitia e tino kaingakautia ana ki Aotearoa nei, ko etahi o ana pukapuka atu, ko TE PAMU O KORO MEKETANARA [OLD MACDONALD'S FARM] me te LOOKY BOOK, he mea tino hokohoko atu i Aotearoa nei.
With the same gorgeous illustrations as the original book, the te reo Maori translation retains the humour and vibrancy of the classic English-language edition.
