Om te leer lees is een van die grootste avonture wat op enige kind
wag - en Krok en Dil is die perfekte maats om die opwindende reis
mee aan te pak! Die nuwe leesreeks uit die pen van Jaco Jacobs stel
kinders deur middel van prettige stories aan verskillende klanke
bekend. Die reeks het 'n sterk strokiesprent-aanslag, met volop
spraakborrels en fantastiese volkleurillustrasies deur Nadia du
Plessis, en die twee onwaarskynlike beste maats, 'n knorrige
krokodil en 'n lewenslustige komkommertjie, sal dadelik in
beginnerlesers se harte kruip. Jaco is self die pa van twee
dogtertjies, Mia (9) en Emma (7), wat die afgelope paar jaar leer
lees het, en hy se een van die grootste struikelblokke was om
toeganklike beginnerleesboeke op te spoor. "My kinders het
grootgeword met stories - van die heel lekkerste storieboeke in
Afrikaans en Engels wat aan hulle voorgelees is. Dit was daarom vir
hulle baie frustrerend as beginnerleesboeke net op die klanke
fokus, sonder 'n sterk, vermaaklike storielyn. Dit is waarom ek die
Krok en Dil-reeks begin skryf het - ek wou 'n leesreeks skryf wat
vir lesers - en ouers! - 'n prettige storie in elke boek bied, met
hope humor."

half mouse, half elephant, kept out of sight until his dreams of
freedom lead him and his misfit friends on a perilous adventure. A
stunning picture book from international bestsellers The Fan
Brothers, joined by their brother Devin Fan. Deep underground
beneath Perfect Pets, where children can buy genetically engineered
"perfect" creatures, there is a secret lab. Barnabus and his
friends live in this lab, but none of them are perfect. They are
all Failed Projects. Barnabus has never been outside his tiny bell
jar, yet he dreams of one day seeing the world above ground that
his pal Pip the cockroach has told him about: a world with green
hills and trees, and buildings that reach all the way to the sky,
lit with their own stars. But Barnabus may have to reach the
outside world sooner than he thought, because the Green Rubber
Suits are about to recycle all Failed Projects . . . and Barnabus
doesn't want to be made into a fluffier pet with bigger eyes. He
just wants to be himself. So he decides it's time for he and the
others to escape. With his little trunk and a lot of cooperation
and courage, Barnabus sets out to find freedom - and a place where
he and his friends can finally be accepted for who they are. This
suspenseful, poignant and magical story about following your dreams
and finding where you truly belong will draw readers into a
surreal, lushly detailed world in which perfection really means
being true to yourself and your friends. 'A stately, cathartic
morality tale about freeing oneself from the tyranny of wanting to
be perfect.' -The Financial Times 'ingeniously imaginative' -
