Sammy and Tee — J.P. Smith

It's peak summertime in New Zealand. It's a perfect day for a trip to the beach, but Sammy and Tee are no ordinary beach-goers- they are birds. Birds with a purpose, and that is to collect as many pretty shells as they can carry back to their home in the forest. But when an overly-playful dog interrupts their search, they are forced to run in the opposite direction- straight into the scary world of humans. Join the curious weka Sammy and his friend Tee the rifleman as they navigate the dangers of a human town. Running through streets and over rooftops, they seem to run into new danger after new danger- all the while with a dog hot on their heels. How will the birds escape and get back to their forest? And what lesson will Sammy learn about camouflage? Learn about New Zealand Flora and Fauna with rich descriptions and a helpful glossary, and become immersed in a birds-eye view of the human world.
