by Tolo Pereira

Porirua, New Zealand: Samoan Early Education Development Services Ltd (SEEDS)

ISBN: 9780473168865/0473168863

Illustrated beautifully using bright, simple illustrations, this book takes the reader through an every-day experience of packing their school bag with Mummy. The use of simple, repetitive language makes this an ideal book for beginner readers and pre-schoolers. The story has a twist at the end, when Mummy does not notice the young boy slipping his favourite toy into his bag as well!

The text is given in both Samoan and English.
