Sanri Steyn droom daarvan om eendag 'n joernalis te word. En nie sommer enige joernalis nie. Haar naam sal op almal se lippe wees ... Superjoernalis Sanri Steyn. Sy het nie verniet haar eie koerant, die Raaiselfontein Gazette, begin nie. Op die dorpie Raaiselfontein beleef Sanri en haar beste vriend, Markus, allerlei vreemde avonture - as daar nie ruimtewesens oorkant die straat intrek nie, probeer iemand die hele skool se kinders in zombies verander!

Vir die eerste keer is die eerste vier Sanri-stories nou in een lekkerlees-omnibus beskikbaar! Dit sluit in:

1: Doktor Zombos se geheime formule

Sanri droom daarvan om eendag 'n joernalis te word - en toe sy en haar ma na die klein dorpie Raaiselfontein trek, besluit sy om haar eie koerant te begin. Die Raaiselfontein Gazette sal propvol opwindende nuus wees. Maar sommer gou vind Sanri uit alles is nie pluis op Raaiselfontein nie. Waarom tree almal so vreemd op? En wat het die lekkergoedfabriek daarmee te doen? Saam met haar nuwe vriend, Markus, besluit Sanri om die geheim te probeer ontrafel …

2: Die aliens oorkant die straat

Toe daar nuwe intrekkers oorkant die straat is, begin Sanri se neus kriewel - soos altyd wanneer sy 'n lekker sappige storie ruik. Hoekom trek die nuwe mense een nag tydens 'n woeste donderstorm in? Waarom ry hulle met so 'n vreemde borrelkar? En waarom tree die twee kinders met hulle silwerwit hare so snaaks op? Sanri is seker hulle nuwe bure is aliens. Sy moet net die bewyse kry, anders kan sy vergeet daarvan om 'n storie daaroor te skryf.

3: Die seun met die superkat-kragte

Sanri se neus begin kriewel toe sy die nuwe seun in hulle klas ontmoet. Felix tree baie vreemd op - hy klouter oor mure, eet regte vissies op sy pousebrood ... en hy het 'n ongelooflike geheim! Kort voor lank is daar groot moeilikheid op Raaiselfontein. 'n Nare rotskurk en sy weermag van rotte beplan om die dorp oor te neem.

4: Die spookmeisie van Raaiselfontein

Sanri is teen hierdie tyd gewoond daaraan dat vreemde dinge op Raaiselfontein gebeur. Toe brille links en regs begin wegraak, kry sy dadelik snuf in die neus. Dan maak Sanri en Markus kennis met 'n spookmeisie - en sy het hulle hulp nodig.

Using the colours of the rainbow to beautifully illustrate different emotions, I’m going to be a BIG SISTER, helps children understand the range of emotions they may feel when experiencing change to their family unit.

• 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.
