Another friend of Allanah's, Barry, has written a book called Derek Comes to Stay. It is the story of a pukeko who comes to stay with Pa and Nanna. Listen to the enjoyment in the children's voices as I read the story.

This podcast can also be found on iTunes- to find it search iTunes for Allanah.
When Mum says,
"I'll be there in a minute."
She really means,
I'll be at least another half-hour."
But when Mum says
"I want this room tidied NOW, or there'll be trouble."
She really, really means it!
