Kids Books with a Hip Hop Twist | Straight Outta NZ We write. illustrate and publish epic kids books, with our premiere book being: The Adventures of Dr Ray, Snoop Froggy Frog & Em the Hen. We're a group of passionate, loving parents and teachers who want our children to love learning and encourge them to become butt-kicking, life-long learners with open and curious minds, and obviously a great sense of humour. Yes, our books are a bit of an out there idea, right, but we know that parents, as well as their children, want a different way of learning; a new and innovative way to teach, for children 5 years old +. As parents and teachers, we believe in one fundamental truth; learning should be fun.
