There's a tui in our teapot. He's looking out at me. A tui in the teapot? Yes ... he wants a cup of tea! A tui and his various friends - takahe, kea, korimako (bellbird), pukeko, hoiho (yellow-eyed penguin), tauhou, matuku, kahu putangitangi, akiaki, weka, and titi wainui invade the family kitchen, getting up to all kinds of high jinks and making a tremendous mess! What will Nan say when she sees what the hilarious gang of mischievous birds have done to her kitchen? Includes brief notes on each New Zealand bird species.
