Nanogirl's Super World:
Clever Creatures of New Zealand
Discover the amazing scientific world of New Zealand's unique insects and other tiny creatures.
Nanogirl's Super World: Clever Creatures of Aotearoa is a beautiful book and box set designed to help your young scientists discover nature's superpowers in your own backyard!
The beautiful, hardcover Clever Creatures book includes a wide range of educational and entertaining activities, profiles of native New Zealand insects and other creatures plus interviews with real scientist role models making a difference through their research here in New Zealand.

The book is filled with hands-on ‘unplugged’ activities to help your child spend time away from their screen and outside in nature discovering science right on their doorstep. It's designed for reading age 8-11 but there are plenty of pictures for younger children to follow.
As well as the book, the Clever Creatures pack also includes a special Nanogirl magnifying bug viewer, and a water-resistant Super World explorer tote bag to help carry all those adventure supplies (and snacks).
Activity ideas have been designed with accessibility in mind, and can be easily adapted to suit your own child's needs and abilities.
