The Book of New Zealand Records and Firsts

Description

Did you know that a New Zealander holds a world record for diving deepest underwater on a single breath of air?
And that Kiwis have created the world’s longest chocolate bar?
Or which tiny piece of paper is New Zealand’s most valuable?

The Book of New Zealand Records and Firsts is chock-a-block with fascinating stories about world
records and ‘firsts’ with a Kiwi connection. Read about the world’s fastest tap dancer, the longest
non-stop flight by a bird (eight days!), the steepest street in the world … and much more!
