A conservation-themed tale and dolphins delighted our young reviewers...[who] liked that it was funny but had good messages. They noted pages where Hector didn’t want to go home, or when his parents had to have words with him about being nice, and that is all resolved in a happy ending. They appreciated the tricks and splashing that the dolphins used and enjoyed the illustrations that stood out, featuring lots of different sea creatures – the squid was a favourite – in bright colours. It was a book they said they would read again (and again) and recommend far and wide.

What I especially appreciate about Ruth Paul’s Little Hector series is her blend of story book and conservation focused themes. Aotearoa has one of the most diverse and unique marine eco-systems on the planet...[Little Hector Meets Mini Maui] is a fantastic resource, with excellent morals, to introduce younger tamariki to the ocean, all that dwell within and how they can preserve it.

A lovely picture book teaching kids about learning to get along with other kids...On the inside back cover are facts about New Zealand’s endangered Maui dolphin.
