Abygale Aardvark and her Wildlife Friends is a carefully researched
and beautifully presented book for readers of all ages dedicated to
the urgent need to protect and enrich the wonderful wildlife of
Africa. While each of the twenty stories is introduced and
commented on by fictional character Abygale Aardvark, she leaves
the actual story-telling to the real wildlife characters
themselves, so that Aardvarks, Aardwolfs, Giraffes, Hornbills,
Baboons, White-eyes, Impala, Red-billed Oxpeckers, Cape Buffalo,
Red-chested Cuckoos and even Honey-Bees and Termites have a chance
to tell their stories - who they are 'friends with and how they
work together 'for a better life'.
Twee uiteenlopende nagdiere leer mekaar ken en besluit om saam 'n hotel
oop te maak. Erdvark is impulsief en vol planne, heeltemal anders as
Ietermagô, wat eers alles wil oorweeg en die rustigheid vanself is!
Hierdie storie vol humor en avontuur ondersoek die elemente wat ware
vriendskap laat ontstaan. Uiteindelik is dit die vreemde klein
geskenkies wat die "hotelgaste" agterlaat wat Erdvark en Ietermagô laat
besef wat vriendskap werklik beteken. In Afrikaans vertaal deur Elsa
Silke.
Gertie is a prime example of a goose who thinks she knows best but
soon realises the consequences of her actions. However, by this
point, it is too late and she has to use her initiative to get
herself out of a sticky situation. For ages 3-8 years old. This
sweet, entertaining story with beautiful hand drawn illustrations,
helps to reinforce the idea that children's parents or guardians
often know what is best for them, and when asking their children to
do something, it's usually for good reason! This book helps promote
the idea of the wisdom of elders, whilst growing independence and
confidence in one's own abilities, in a bedtime story that everyone
can enjoy.
