A collection of the perennially popular Funny Bones books by Allan Ahlberg
Celebrate thirty years of Funnybones with the spooky A Brilliant Bone-rattling Collection which contains three stories from Allan Ahlberg's, iconic children's picture book series about skeletons.

The Level 3 books are designed to build on Levels 1 and 2 whilst introducing new consonant blends and digraphs. Additionally, the stories have been written to encourage inferencing and problem solving through the stories and images to enhance the reader’s skills and fun!

How does the sea snake swim? What is a 'hinged' tortoise? Who cleans a crocodile's teeth? Do toads cause warts? How do some frogs survive the dry season?

Children will find the answers to these questions – and many other interesting facts – while enjoying hours of fun colouring in a selection of our most striking reptiles and amphibians (frogs and toads).

There are more than 40 to colour in, each providing budding artists and inquisitive children with a snippet of knowledge as they work through the book. In the middle of the book is a gallery of all the featured creatures, but this time in colour, giving a clear guide as to which shade of crayon or paint to use when colouring in the outlined images throughout the book.

Dieter en Krynauw, twee graadneges, beland in die kloue van Madame Zenobia toe hulle op eie houtjie begin ondersoek instel na die vlaag diefstalle in die skool – hulle is veral bekommerd oor hulle rugbybeker wat verdwyn het. Maar Zaanlie en haar vriendinne is ook op die spoor van die dief en eintlik meer in die pad as van hulp.

Uiteindelik slaag hulle tog daarin om die problem op te los, maar nie voordat hulle angswekkende oomblikke beleef en amper vir Sydney, Dieter se babaskilpadjie, moet opoffer nie. Lekker skerp dialoog, humor en spanning.

Hierdie skooluitgawe van Dieter en Madame Zenobia is goedgekeur vir die Departement van Basiese Onderwys se Nasionale Katalogus vir die Senior Fase. Addisionele onderrig- en leerstof is bygevoeg: aktiwiteite vir pre- en postlees, vrae volgens kognitiewe vlakke, woordelyste en notas oor die kenmerke van ’n jeugverhaal.

Glo my, as jy op die ingewing van die oomblik ’n skaap by ’n kerkbasaar steel, sal jou lewe nooit weer dieselfde wees nie ...

Luan se vakansieplanne is in hulle peetjie.

In plaas daarvan dat hy by die huis gaan rondsit, PlayStation speel en saam met sy pelle kuier, moet hy Karoo toe gaan. Op ’n road trip. Saam met sy eksentrieke fotograaf-ouma wat ’n fotoboek oor windpompe wil publiseer.

Dit is sy straf omdat hy en sy vriende een aand iets aangevang het wat hulle in groot moeilikheid laat beland het.

Op pad deur die Karoo ontmoet hy vir Lana, wie se pa al die pad van Bloemfontein na Kaapstad met sy fiets ry om geld vir kankernavorsing in te samel. Lana wat nie vleis eet nie, mal is oor boeke en hom (sonder dat sy dit weet) oortuig om ’n skaap te steel.

Luan leer ken vir die eerste keer werklik sy ouma – die hardekwas-predikantsvrou wat al die jare ’n geheim saam met haar ronddra.

En die belangrikste van als: Hy leer homself ken.

Kort voor lank verander ’n vervelige rit deur die Karoo in ’n onvergeetlike reis ...

Hierdie humoristiese, hartroerende tienerboek uit die pen van Jaco Jacobs sal jou anders laat kyk na die dinge wat die lewe die moeite werd maak.

There is a storyteller in almost every village in Africa. Telling stories is not her official job. By day she may be a Gogo, a teacher, a farmer or a seamstress. But at night, round the fire, she will sit surrounded by young children, old friends, neighbours and travellers. She will tell of how it was in the olden days, when the earth was young, when man was a hunter-gatherer, and when the animals roamed wild throughout the continent. The author spent several months hiking around the villages, towns, farms and deserts of Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and South Africa, asking people who can't read or write to tell her their favourite stories. The result is this children's treasury of legends and fables, of witchdoctors and kingdoms of strange creatures and talking animals, which celebrates Africa and its ancient storytelling culture.

Learning sounds is fun with Tippie the elephant! Tippie learns sounds was developed in collaboration with an occupational therapist. This series includes early learning and developmental outcomes to support phonemic awareness. Generalisation and consolidation of letter sounds, letter formation as well as auditory and visual perception skills form part of this unique approach. Tippie learns sounds includes hidden curriculum skills and encourages incidental learning. A structured approach to learning and recognising letters with associations is supported by focusing on correct letter formation with a clear beginning and end for each letter. Visual scanning for task completion and early reading is encouraged with an emphasis on working from left-to-right, top-to-bottom. Learning readiness is key to our approach, emphasising fun, child-centred and age appropriate multi-sensorial activities.
