Description

Gumboots are the favourite footwear of the hero of this picture book - but also of the giant wētā who thinks they make a perfect home. After a battle of wills and yuck moments meeting Koro Wētā, a happy compromise for co-existence is found: a wētā hotel and some new gumboots - that are see-through!

A perfect mix of giggles and icky, Koro Wētā is a whimsical way for young readers to gain insight about the fascinating wētā. At the back of the book, kids can learn more about the five species of wētā and what makes them so wonderful.
