then it grew... Someone has come along to join Winnie-the-Pooh and
Christopher Robin on their adventure, but who could it be? It can't
be Kanga and Roo - they're sailing a boat - and it can't be Owl,

beloved honey? Or perhaps Pooh and Christopher Robin are

Om te leer lees is een van die grootste avonture wat op enige kind
wag - en Krok en Dil is die perfekte maats om die opwindende reis
mee aan te pak! Die nuwe leesreeks uit die pen van Jaco Jacobs stel
kinders deur middel van prettige stories aan verskillende klanke
bekend. Die reeks het 'n sterk strokiesprent-aanslag, met volop
spraakborrels en fantastiese volkleurillustrasies deur Nadia du
Plessis, en die twee onwaarskynlike beste maats, 'n knorrige
krokodil en 'n lewenslustige komkommertjie, sal dadelik in
beginnerlesers se harte kruip. Jaco is self die pa van twee
dogtertjies, Mia (9) en Emma (7), wat die afgelope paar jaar leer
lees het, en hy se een van die grootste struikelblokke was om
toeganklike beginnerleesboeke op te spoor. "My kinders het
grootgeword met stories - van die heel lekkerste storieboeke in
Afrikaans en Engels wat aan hulle voorgelees is. Dit was daarom vir
hulle baie frustrerend as beginnerleesboeke net op die klanke
fokus, sonder 'n sterk, vermaaklike storielyn. Dit is waarom ek die
Krok en Dil-reeks begin skryf het - ek wou 'n leesreeks skryf wat
vir lesers - en ouers! - 'n prettige storie in elke boek bied, met
hope humor."
