Description

For over 20 years, the words from The Little Yellow Digger have resonated in households throughout Australasia. Some of the original listeners are now parents themselves, introducing their own children to this iconic Kiwi story of which they have such fond memories. Peter Gilderdale has worked with his mothers series of stories and his fathers familiar art, from the much-loved original Little Yellow Digger range to produce an all-new rhyming story in this handsome lift-the-flap alphabet book. Children will delight in discovering the calligraphy-style alphabet letters hidden beneath the flaps.

A lecturer in English with numerous books behind her, Betty takes The Little Yellow Digger stories very seriously - giving them as much time and consideration as her more lengthy works for adults. Together with her late husband, Alan, she created the Little Yellow Digger legacy.
