A lone lizard travels across the wild landscape of the New Zealand bush-munching bugs and traversing branches, always keeping a watchful eye out for any lurking threats in teacher and environmentalist Gay Hay’s Go, Green Gecko! 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.
