Singer-songwriter Dean O'Brien has produced yet another toe-tapping, singalong song, this time about Nee Naw's friend, Moto Mike the Motorbike. Farmer Tom and his tractor are leading the annual pumpkin parade. When the tractor wheel jolts off the edge of the bridge, Tom finds himself in a precarious situation. But Nee Naw's mate, Moto Mike, swiftly takes action and saves the day!

Join the live performance by Deano Yipadee, with Moto Mike and all the other friends from the Nee- Naw series of books for tamariki.

The show will be at 10.30 followed by a book signing with Deano, before he flies back to Australia.
