The Flixies (and of course Facto) find out how wonderfully this ‘spaceship’ Earth is built and how it’s positioned in space so that different forms of life on Earth can be sustained. They are reminded that the earth is exactly the right distance from the sun and therefore has the precise temperature to support and sustain life – it’s neither too cold nor too hot.

The Flixies share an entertaining time together in the wetlands. Kwax and Crox, the two water Flixies, stage a play act as though they are some of the ancient lobe-finned fish that first stuck their heads out of water. They crawl about in the muddy waters and wonder it must be like to live on dry land. And so the Flixies learn about all the problems that vertebrates possibly had to face with the transition from life in water to life on land…

Die eerste groen plante het in water geleef. Omdat toestande op land baie anders is as in water, sou die oudste plante eenvoudig uitdroog en nie kon regop bly sonder die ondersteuning wat water bied nie. Facto leer hoe plante ontwikkel het sodat hulle, hulle op land kon vestig en watter plante op die ou end suksesvol was en oral op land begin groei het...

Die Flixie-stories is geskryf en word in die skole gebruik om twee groot krisisse aan te spreek: ’n omgewingskrisis en ’n geletterdheidskrisis. Ons planeet Aarde is in die nood en jong lesers en hul opvoeders moet bewus gemaak word van biodiversiteit en ons almal se verantwoordelikheid om te sorg vir die kwaliteit van lewe op Aarde.

Celebrate 25 years of Priddy Books! Inspiring a love of learning in over 200 million babies, toddlers and young children.

Little Baby Learns: Numbers is the ideal early learning set for toddlers. With a board book and 12 shaped play pieces to use inside, it is a fun way to introduce young children to the concept of counting.

Children can learn how to count up to 12 as they go through the book and find the press-out pieces. Each of the 12 play pieces matches an image on the page and fits securely into the die-cut spaces, but can also be used separately as flash cards. This book encourages fine motor skills and problem-solving, as well as teaching core vocabulary.

The book is attached to a cased board and the pieces enclosed in a clamshell so they can be stored easily making this a great gift to take on the go.

Facto het die Flixies ontdek! Hy “luister in” na hulle gesprekke en so leer hy meer van ons aarde en die natuur. Lees in hierdie storie meer oor die Flixies, waar hulle woon en hoe Facto hulle ontdek het...

Die aarde is soos 'n ruimteskip saam met al die ander planete in die ruimte op reis. Die groot verskil tussen planeet Aarde en die ander planete is dat ons planeet in die ruimte duisende vorme van lewe saamdra. Flex verduidelik vir die Flixies van die bane waarin die planete om die son wentel en hoe die vorm van hierdie bane sorg dat ons verskillende seisoene het waarin die plante kan rus en kan groei.

Die Flixies het sommer baie pret waar hulle in die vleiland bymekaarkom. Kwax en Crox, die twee water-Flixies, speel toneel en maak asof hulle van die heel oudste lobvinvisse is wat hulle koppe uit die water steek. Hulle kruip in die modderwater rond en wonder hoe dit moet wees om op land te lewe. So leer die Flixies van al die probleme wat werweldiere moontlik mee te doen gekry het met die oorgang van water- na landlewe...

Which was the most successful group in the entire animal kingdom? Facto finds out what contributed to the arthropods success and why they deserve the title of the first land animals. The Flixies play a guessing game and they chat about crustaceans, multipedes, spiders and scorpions and the first animals that could fly – the insects!

Wie was die suksesvolste groep in die ganse diereryk? Facto vind uit waaraan geleedpotiges se sukses toegeskryf kan word en hoekom hulle as die eerste egte landdiere beskou word. Die Flixies speel 'n raaiselspeletjie oor goggas en gesels ook onder mekaar oor skaaldiere, veelpotiges, spinnekoppe en skerpioene en oor die eerste diere wat kon vlieg – insekte!

Oupa Flex vertel ’n baie interessante storie oor die eerste werweldiere, visse, en hoe dit gekom het dat hulle uitbeweeg het land toe. Wetenskaplikes het natuurlik geraai hoe die eerste ou lomp visse wat uit die water kon kruip en die lewe op land kon verken, moes gelyk het. Daar is later fossiele gevind om hierdie raaiskote van wetenskaplikes te ondersteun – fossiele van reuse lobvinvisse, waarvan die vinne amper soos primitiewe bene gelyk het!

Facto lê en droom in ’n knus holte tussen die wortels van die Wonderboom. Hy wag op die Flixies om te hoor van die laaste groepe wat landlewe suksesvol kon baasraak – die voëls en die soogdiere...en hy kan nie glo wat hy alles by die Flixies hoor nie!

Weet jy hoe ’n leeuwyfie haar welpie optel? En het jy al ’n renoster se groot pote gesien? Kom ontmoet die Groot Vyf.

Peuters en kleuters leer ken die bekendste wilde diere in Suid-Afrika in hierdie stimulerende kartonboek.

Oupa Flex en Dux is aan die woord en vertel van reptiele, sort vir soort. Flex vertel hoe primitiewe werweldiere uiteindelik geskik genoeg was om landlewe baas te raak. Sekere afstammelinge van die amfibieë het die nodige eienskappe gehad wat juis dit moontlik gemaak het!

Kwax gesels met Frikkie Vleipadda wat vir hom sy familiegeskiedenis vertel. Hy vertel vir Kwax dat die oeroue amfibieëvoorvaders groot en lomp was en gesukkel het om op land te beweeg en te lewe. Die interessante deel van amfibieë is dat hulle nog nie eiers met doppe ontwikkel het nie. Hulle gaan dus terug water toe om hulle eiers daar te lê en wanneer die eiers uitbroei, kom daar vissies uit!

A fun, rhyming, rhythmical story which focuses on the importance of a habitat generation through the journey of a dung bettle and the friends it meets along its way.

This beautifully illustrated story with facts and photo pages at the end introduces children (and their adults) to the important, urgent conservation and global issues we face today and how to begin to solve them.

The main focuses and underlying themes will be the importance of improving biodiversity and the need to take care of entire ecosystems by looking at the bigger picture and above all, the importance of holistic resource management and soil health if we are to have a future on this planet.
