Teachers Notes ~ To go with New Zealand Literature

Update: Sadly these teaching/book notes are no longer available.  I'm not sure why Scholastic & Harper Collins have removed them from their sites.

My now obsolete post read:
Having teaching, literature, or book notes to go along with the books being read in our home is so helpful, and then for me to be able to source book notes for NZ titles is really nice, and often so unexpected!

I keep forgetting to share these book notes in a stand alone post, and it wasn't until Allie was asking me about NZ literature that I got motivated enough to list and link them.

I'll toss some links in that will take you to the kindle edition, or book edition of each title.
Checking the titles out through a local NZ library, or loaning the books off a friends bookshelf  are not options everyone is able to do...

Book notes for some of our preferred New Zealand History, story format, titles:
These links no longer work,  I'll leave the post up on the off chance we find alternates somewhere, sometime.

I'll just be linking up two from that list:

• Book notes for Call of the Cruins ~ Elizabeth Pullford  (I vaguely recall there being a reason why I wanted to read this to Daisy, and not hand it over as a reader, something to do with the main characters mystical connection to the Cruins and nature mysticism undertones.)  Call of the Cruins Kindle edition
