Dit is ook 'n was- en spoelmiddel en dit koel af. Ons voorraad vars water wat bruikbaar is, is baie beperk en die Flixies verduidelik hoekom.

• Psychologists recommend that the best way to introduce a new baby to an older sibling is by giving your older child a gift that’s from the baby such as a book or T-shirt that says big brother or big sister. So this is the perfect gift for parents to give to their children or family members/friends to bestow on them.
• This book taps into the psychological importance of children naming feelings as the first step in helping them learn to identify them. It allows parents to discuss their children’s feelings with them in a fun and colourful way.
• This book allows children to develop an emotional vocabulary so they can talk about their feelings & develop into mentally strong children. Children who understand and are able to verbalise their emotions and have the coping skills to deal with them will build the confidence that they can handle whatever life throws their way.
• In this book, the colours of the rainbow are used as a clever reference for children to identify their emotions with colours. Colour is important in reflecting and emphasizing the particular emotional states of a child as there is a colour feeling connection in preschool aged children.

Die Bitterbosbende besluit om in die skoolkoor te sing. Maar meneer Louw is nie die vriendelikste nie en boonop is daar nuwe koorlede wat Kurt nog nooit in die skool opgemerk het nie en wat blykbaar vir die res van die bende onsigbaar is. Dan ontdek Nieke 'n stuk papier met snaakse simbole, amper soos bladmusiek, in haar geskiedenisboek. Nieke en Kurt besef hulle droom albei oor onaardse aaklige musiek, en 'n koor van kinders geklee in swart, met aardige groot koppe . . .

Die Bitterbosbende kamp langs die rivier. Toe Zia en Nieke een aand badkamer toe loop, begin 'n hond verwoed blaf. Toe is daar die geluid van 'n trein wat kwaai rem aanslaan en dan 'n harde botsing. Dis eers toe Zia gil dat Nieke sien wat in haar hand is . . .  'n been?  En so begin die soeke na die geheimsinnige stoomlokomotief wat passasiers in die sewentigerjare vervoer het, wat daar naby ontspoor het. Wat het van die slagoffers, wat kinders en 'n hond ingesluit het, geword?
