Learning journals & childrens Maori mythology books

I went to the library to get a good look at the learning journals children in NZ aged 7-10 read at school as well as the Maori myths and legend storybooks that are available to them. This helped me gain a good understanding of whats acceptable (politically correct) for children of that age to view, and how much they understand. Most of them stayed true to the original myth, but explained more through visual representation (imagery) and focused more on the characters and their experiences. Furthermore they were often bright and colourful, and almost all depicted some elements of traditional Maori design (even if just subtle) throughout the book.
