Pack your bags and have a sleepover in Ancient Egypt! Join two
friends and their mischievous cat who happen to be able to time
travel! Travel with these bold adventurers, via a striking gatefold
spread, into Ancient Egypt and meet siblings Tuya and Senbi who
invite them into their home. Tuya and Senbi show them around their
house and their city, transporting the visitors and the readers
into the everyday life of an Egyptian kid. We explore their
house, play their favourite games, dress up in jewels, learn who
are their favourite gods, favourite snacks and what they dream of
being when they grow up. The time travellers end their eventful day
with a family feast and a sleepover at their hosts' house. Tim
Knapman's text is funny and informative, and the scenarios the kids
– and cat – find themselves in lead to lots of visual gags and
funny character interaction and misunderstandings.
Well-researched historical facts are introduced in a gentle,
playful way. Warm, comical and engaging illustrations from
Matt Robertson bring the past alive so the reader really
feels like they are living like kids from long ago.
Grobbelaartjie, 'n jong bosvarkie, is van sy ouers se plaas af op
pad na Velskoendorp om sy fortuin te soek. Op sy reis ontmoet hy
verskeie uiteenlopende karakters, maak nuwe vriende (en vyande) en
beland in talle vreemde situasies. Met hierdie speelse en
verbeeldingryke teks skep die skrywer 'n fantasiewereld waar dier
en mens saam kan boer en waar 'n bosvarkie 'n reuseverskil kan
maak. Die volwasse leser sal die tong-in-die-kies sosiale
kommentaar waardeer, terwyl jonger lesers hulle sal inleef in die
asemrowende avonture van dapper Grobbelaartjie.
