The Wildest Dog And Other African Tales (Paperback): Avril van der Merwe The Wildest Dog And Other African Tales (Paperback)
Avril van der Merwe; Illustrated by Heidi-Kate Greeff
R230 R213 Discovery Miles 2 130 Save R17 (7%) Ships in 5 - 10 working days

All the animals, including his own pack, think Wild Dog is too wild. In fact, he’s the wildest dog they’ve ever met. His constant activity leads him into a variety of adventures and, ultimately, into danger.

But the wild dog pack saves the day and his own mother defends his wild ways, pointing out that curiosity and boldness are essential traits for an alpha dog, such as his father and herself. Rather than squelching Wild Dog’s high spirits, she affirms them.

In six heartwarming tales, Avril van der Merwe highlights character traits or habits that may trouble young children. Wild Dog’s hyperactive nature gets him into trouble, Pangolin uses her intelligence to outsmart Lion and discovers new friends in the process, Bushbaby’s nocturnal habits lead the animals to assume he is shy, Hyena mistakenly thinks that if she changes her identity she’ll be accepted, Hippo’s envy of Rhinoceros’ horn ends up creating more trouble than she anticipated, while Cheetah learns that his bragging doesn’t impress his friends.

Each animal character faces a challenge, but with plenty of encouragement and support from their friends, a lesson is learned and the outcome is always positive.

Esperanza isn't ready for the hard labor, financial struggles, or lack of acceptance she now faces. When their new life is threatened, Esperanza must find a way to rise above her difficult circumstances--Mama's life, and her own, depend on it.

Wanneer Cazlee se pa een aand weer sy hande vir haar lig, slaan sy terug. Voor sy haar kom kry, veg sy elke naweek by ’n onwettige vegklub om kos op die tafel te sit en sy dobbelgewoonte te onderhou.

Sy droom van ’n matrieksertifikaat en ’n lewe ver weg van haar swakkeling-ma, dronklap-pa en ’n vegkryt waarin min reëls geld. Maar haar skoolwerk ly ál meer onder die laatnaggevegte.

Dan sien ’n voormalige martial arts-kampioen Cazlee se talent raak. Hy bied haar ’n beurs aan by die skool waar hy taekwondo afrig en die kampioentrofee in die visier het.

Ellamay, sy dogter, droom daarvan om in haar kampioen-pa se voetspore te volg. Dat haar pa uit sy pad gaan om eerder van Cazlee ’n kampioen te maak, lei tot wrywing tussen die twee meisies.

Dan gaan die wêreld van onwettige gevegte vir Ellamay ook oop. Dinge loop lelik skeef en Cazlee moet 'n besluit neem wat haar hele toekoms kan beïnvloed.

Tumi Letsatsi is a 15-year old melanin kween living in Rondebosch, Cape Town. Her favourite colour is yellow, she's still trying to figure out how not to dent her afro on the bus, and how one goes about (ahem!) “french kissing”. She’s a little awkward and a lot uncertain about her future, friendships and how to put together a cool outfit! But then she stumbles across the magic of coding and creates an app called “Project Prep” that goes viral and rockets her and her friends to fame. Then everything starts to fall apart, as she deals with a catfish who befriends her and steals her code, nasty rumours at school and the newfound attention of a crush.

The New Girl Code (by Niki Smit, locally edited by Buhle Ngaba) is about the wonders of working in tech, aimed at girls and young women aged 9-15. The project is an initiative of Inspiring Fifty and based on an idea by Janneke Niessen.

Gabby en haar niggie Georgia lyk baie na mekaar met hulle krullerige hare, hoë wangbene en vol lippe, en toe hulle jonger was, was hulle onafskeidbaar. Maar iewers het hulle vreemdelinge vir mekaar geword en al wat hulle nou in gemeen het, is die bloed in hulle are.

Toe die matriekgroep van Barkley-Wes op ’n toer na Kaapstad vertrek, ontdek Gabby dat Georgia se dagboek in haar rugsak is. Hulle ma’s het vir hulle identiese blou dagboeke vir hulle gekoop, en hulle deel ’n kamer, so dit kon maklik gebeur het dat sy die verkeerde dagboek ingepak het. Dit beteken waarskynlik ook dat háár dagboek in Georgia se besit is.

Kort voor lank kry Gabby se nuuskierigheid die oorhand en begin sy Georgia se dagboek lees. Wanneer Georgia daarvan uitvind, breek ’n volskaalse niggie-oorlog uit wat nie eens Kaapstad se besienswaardighede of hulle vriende se pogings om raad te gee, kan keer nie.

Gaan Gabby se verraad die niggies nog verder uitmekaar dryf of sal dit dalk daartoe lei dat hulle mekaar beter begin verstaan?
