Seagull Seagull is a new selection of poems from the classic The
Tree House poems for children by New Zealand?s folk poet, James K
Baxter. Baxter wrote these poems when he was teaching in Lower
Hutt in the 1950s. Successful in the classroom, they have been
regularly reprinted in anthologies and collections and remain
popular for their accessible rhythms, humour, and
quintessentially New Zealand settings.
