The Giant of Lake Wakatipu de Peter Gossage

I like this one because it weaves the traditional culture in so nonchalantly. "So Matau took up his mere and smote the giant, and then they all went back to their pa" and of course we don't need telling that the mere is a club and the pa is not their dad but the compound where they live, but so often we do get it. Also there is a nice just-so story here about how Lake Wakatipu got its shape (they burned the giant while he was lying down in the fetal position and it left a crater).

In the Beginning de Peter Gossage

Review from World Cat:
A retelling of the Māori creation story in which the children of Rangi and Papa, tired of living in the dark, force their parents apart and allow light into Aotearoa. Suggested level: junior, primary.
