KPE Episode 207: "Piano Rock"

"Piano Rock" by Gavin Bishop
Xeneqe interviews Simone as she tells us about the latest book by Gavin Bishop that she has read. We have podcast lots of Gavin Bishop's fiction stories in the past (eg Stay Awake Bear, Bidibidi, Kiwi Moon, Chicken Licken) but this book is non-fiction. It is the story of Gavin Bishop's childhood in Invercargill. As well as finding out interesting things about one of our favourite authors the girls also learned lots of fascinating things about life in New Zealand in the 1950's.
Have a listen to their podcast and if you have any memories or ideas about the things they discover why don't you tell us about them in the comments below.
Oh, and from Pt England School to all of you, we wish you a VERY happy new year in 2009.

    Great podcast girls! I am a third grade teacher from USA. I know my students will enjoy listening to your fabulous book talks when I share the website with them tomorrow.

    Xeneqe, I like how you make connections to the books from things you have experienced.

    Keep up the great work!

    Hi Xeneqe and Simone,

    Great podcast! It sounds like the author had a wonderful childhood growing up in NZ in the 1950's.

    Aren't you lucky to receive comments from the USA and Hong Kong! How cool is that? Well done girls!
