Sammy Two Shoes and Cornelius C. Mouse Written by Gavin Gosney | Illustrated by Susanna Palomäki
Join Sammy Two Shoes, East Auckland's favourite adventurous cat, as he teams up with an unlikely and colourful new friend—Cornelius C. Mouse!
Set right in the heart of historic Howick, this charming New Zealand picture book takes young readers on a lively journey past familiar local landmarks, including the iconic All Saints' Church (Selwyn Church). Complete with a hand-drawn map of Howick, children can trace Sammy and Cornelius's path on the page before heading out to explore the real-life spots in their own neighbourhood.
Written specifically to delight young and reluctant readers aged 3 and up, Sammy Two Shoes and Cornelius C. Mouse blends gentle humour, vibrant watercolour illustrations, and a celebration of local heritage. A wonderful Kiwi keepsake for bedtime reading and little explorers alike.
