Books with author Margaret Tolland

This book follows a green gecko as it scavenges for food. The green gecko faces other predators as it explores the bush. This book also includes factual information about green geckos, their behavior, and their life cycle. The different textures on the illustrations capture the cheeky character of the gecko and the rich life of the native bush. This book is easy to read aloud, with great vocabulary, and can be acted out during story time. “Who knew a gecko’s life could be so thrilling?” ―Kirkus Reviews (U.S.) “This title does a good job in introducing preschoolers to life sciences, and the simple text makes this a good selection for a storytime.” ―School Library Journal (U.S.) “Brilliant paintings by fellow Kiwi Margaret Tolland zoom in on details from gecko’s scaley skin and blue mouth to the scarlet blooms of the rata tree. Fun facts about this wee reptile round out the entertaining and educational walkabout.” ―Foreword Reviews (U.S.) “Go, Green Gecko! is a winner on all counts; loved by this oldie just as much as I am sure it will be loved by lots of littlies.” ―Reading Time (Australia) “Highly recommended.” ―ReadPlus (U.K.)
