Kritka the kea is the rascally hero of the story. 4 to 10-year-olds. One Lonely Kakapo, by Sandra Morris ($9.95, Hodder & Stoughton). Delightful verse ("One lonely kakapo dancing to the moon, Two shy bitterns booming out a tune") accompanied by imaginative illustrations in this counting book for 1 to 4-year-olds.
