Do you like poetry?
Do you like whitebait?
Combine these two together and you get The Whitebait Wriggle.
Reading this book I found out all about the life cycle of the whitebait. I learnt that what we describe as whitebait is actually the juvenile form of five species of New Zealand freshwater fish and they all lead an amazing and sometimes dangerous life.
What is really fun about this book is that it is written in verse.
Down at the beach
in the blue-green sea.
Where the waves swish the sand
and the birds fly free.
Swam five baby fish
and they all looked the same.
Tiny and wriggly,
whitebait was their name.
You can check out lots of great poetry books in the library and then maybe you can have a go at creating some of your own.
