Tangi ana te Pere

This book is written in Te Reo Māori.

Children enjoy singing when their teacher, Nanny Hineari, plays an autoharp. When the harp goes missing, the children and Nanny search everywhere, but it seems lost. Only a fantail saw elves taking the harp, and it leads Nanny to the place they are practising for a bush band competition.

The elves’ band sounds terrible, so Nanny gives them some help, and they win the competition and quietly return the harp. The children are delighted, and only Nanny and fantail know what really happened.

An English edition is also available, When the Bell Rings.
