From the iconic creator of Whatever, William Bee, comes a brand new series and the ultimate searchand- find story book experience. Meet Migloo - everyone's favourite dog - and follow him on his adventures through Sunnytown as he follows his nose for delicious treats, meets all his friends along the way and even saves the day! Jam-packed town scenes illustrate the adventures of Sunnytown's residents through comical, visual narratives (follow Milo the Monkey who has run away with Zebedee's hat or spot the little rubber ducks that have escaped the plastics factory) and spot all of the town's vehicles on the eye watering gatefold - fire engines, tractors, ice-cream vans, racing cars and fork-lift tricks! With a chock-a block play page at the end of the book, too, there are so many hours of interactive fun to be had! William Bee (both the author and an actual character in the book) keeps his readers very busy, quizzing them throughout and leading them around the scenes - can you spot a missing shoe? Where is Little Mouse?

There might even be a film star sighting in the offing, too! Packed with all the interactive features of its predecessor — humorous visual narratives, a dizzying gatefold, and a play page packed with many more things to find — this much-awaited follow-up to Migloo’s Day finds Sunnytown to be funnier, sillier, and busier than ever before.

In Aboriginal and Māori literature, the circle and the spiral are the symbolic metaphors for a never-ending journey of discovery and rediscovery. The journey itself, with its indigenous perspectives and sense of orientation, is the most significant act of cultural recuperation. The present study outlines the fields of indigenous writing in Australia and New Zealand in the crucial period between the mid-1980s and the early 1990s – particularly eventful years in which postcolonial theory attempted to ‘centre the margins’ and indigenous writers were keen to escape the particular centering offered in search of other positions more in tune with their creative sensibilities. Indigenous writing relinquished its narrative preference for social realism in favour of traversing old territory in new spiritual ways; roots converted into routes. Standard postcolonial readings of indigenous texts often overwrite the ‘difference’ they seek to locate because critical orthodoxy predetermines what ‘difference’ can be. Critical evaluations still tend to eclipse the ontological grounds of Aboriginal and Māori traditions and specific ways of moving through and behaving in cultural landscapes and social contexts. Hence the corrective applied in Circles and Spirals – to look for locally and culturally specific tracks and traces that lead in other directions than those catalogued by postcolonial convention. This agenda is pursued by means of searching enquiries into the historical, anthropological, political and cultural determinants of the present state of Aboriginal and Māori writing (principally fiction). Independent yet interrelated exemplary analyses of works by Keri Hulme and Patricia Grace and Mudrooroo and Sam Watson (Australia) provided the ‘thick description’ that illuminates the author’s central theses, with comparative side-glances at Witi Ihimaera, Heretaunga Pat Baker and Alan Duff (New Zealand) and Archie Weller and Sally Morgan (Australia).
