The Gruffalo has become one of the most-loved children's characters of all time and this 10-CD collection brings him, and many of his equally brilliant friends from Julia Donaldson's collection of books, to life in audio format.

A Squash and a Squeeze is a charming story; while Room on the Broom is hilarious; and The Snail and the Whale is quite rightly regarded as a children's classic.

There is even The Gruffalo Song and Other Songs included, a CD which contains some of Julia's very own fun-filled action songs for children aged 3 and over.

Met Die beste kinderverse van Tienie Holloway kan jonk en oud van voor af die vreugde van Tienie Holloway-verse ontdek en in die proses terugkeer na die eenvoud van doodgewone dinge – padkos, pannekoek, pantoffels wat slof, touspring, ’n windpomp, waatlemoen, ’n toktokkie wat klop, of sommer net appelkooskonfyt op ’n sny brood!

Vandag is daar amper nie ’n generasie wat nie hier en daar ’n versreël of strofe uit ’n Tienie Holloway-vers onthou nie. Ongelukkig is haar bundels dun gesaai en nog net hier en daar op ’n biblioteekrak in ’n plattelandse dorp te vinde. Die beste kinderverse van Tienie Holloway is saamgestel deur Wendy Maartens en van pragtige volkleurillustrasies voorsien deur Alida Bothma.

Meer as ’n honderd jaar nadat die boek Peter and Wendy deur J.M. Barrie in Engeland gepubliseer is, verskyn Marié Heese se opvolgstorie Peter Pan en Laurie by Protea Boekhuis in Suid-Afrika. Dit word gelyktydig in Engels en Afrikaans vrygestel, met sjarmante illustrasies deur Marjorie van Heerden. Marié Heese het reeds verskeie kinderstories gepubliseer en vertaal. In hierdie storie hou sy redelik naby aan die atmosfeer en verteltrant van die oorspronklike werk. Natuurlik is Peter nog net soos hy was, avontuurlik en vry, maar die meisie wat hy dié keer na die Nimmerland met hom saamneem, is ietwat anders as die moederlike Wendy. Sy nuwe feetjie-maat heet Klokkelokkies. Daar is ander Verlore Seuns, en ander vyande om te trotseer, veral die groteske reus, Half-gevreet, leier van die Grillergaaie, wat net ’n halwe kop het en die ore van sy oorwonne vyande pekel, aan ’n tou om sy nek hang en kou. Hy soek Peter se ore vir sy versameling. En daar is dinosaurusse wat die eiland wil oorneem …

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.

Few books have been as universally cherished by children and adults alike as The Little Prince. A beautiful gift collection of quotes from the original translation by Katherine Woods, featuring full-colour illustrations. A pilot stranded in the desert awakes one morning to see the most extraordinary little fellow standing before him. “Please…’ asks the stranger, “draw me a sheep…’ The Little Prince has been capturing the hearts of readers around the world since its publication in 1943 – this new collection of quotes features favourite words of wisdom from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s lyrical, whimsical text. Quotes are drawn from the original translation by Katherine Woods, a favourite with fans. With subjects covering childhood, sorrow, friendship, love and more, this collection has something for everyone. Featuring original colour illustrations by the author. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944) was born in Lyons, France. He wrote The Little Prince in the United States during a two-year self-imposed exile from occupied France. A year after the book’s publication in 1943, Saint-Exupéry disappeared over the Mediterranean while flying a reconnaissance mission for his French air squadron. Best known throughout the world as the author and illustrator of The Little Prince, Saint-Exupéry wrote several other books that have also become classics of world literature. Katherine Woods (1886-1968) produced the original English translation of The Little Prince in 1943. It was later followed by several other English translations, but her classic translation is treasured by fans and is often considered to be the definitive English translation. Her poetic translation perfectly captures the enchantment and charm of Saint-Exupéry’s storytelling.
