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!

Die Flixies hoor in hierdie storie wat die werweldiere se wenresep was – ’n skelet binne-in die liggaam, wat van been en kraakbeen gemaak is, waaraan spiere kon vasheg. Werweldiere het unieke eienskappe gehad wat hulle aanpasbaar op land gemaak het en sodoende is talle nisse gevul wat die land nog verder vir ander lewensvorme oopgemaak het!

Ons vriende, die Flixies, leer hoe belangrik die wisselwerking tussen plante en diere is en hoe plante, soos hulle oor die aarde versprei, ook dien om grond met hulle wortels aan die aarde “vas te plak”.

By blomplante is dit veral voortplanting wat baie slim ontwikkel is en die Flixies is baie beïndruk deur die maniere waarop plante hul saad versprei.

As Facto is sitting under his favourite tree, he receives a little note that comes fluttering down from the branches of the tree and lands between his feet. It’s a farewell letter from Flixies. Facto is downhearted, but he is also excited about everything that he has learned from the Flixies and the knowledge he has acquired about planet Earth. He sees the living things around him from a new perspective and realises that each living thing plays a vital role on this wonderful place that we call Earth.

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.

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.
