The Flixies teach us one of their most important secrets: variety. And so we learn what the word biodiversity means, and why it is so important that we understand it. Facto learns that there is an exceptional number of different types of animals and plants on Earth, and that each one that is discovered must be named. Grandma Flox surprises the Flixies with a very special piece of embroidery…
Facto listens to what the Flixies have to say about water and learns that it is magical material! No form of life, as we know it, can exist without water. It is an amazing solvent as all food for animals and plants must first be dissolved in water before it can be absorbed. It also used for washing and cleansing and even to cool off. But our supply of usable water is actually extremely limited…
The earliest green plants lived in water. Since the conditions on land was very different from life in water, the earliest plants would have simply dried out and would have been unable to stay upright without support of water. Facto learns how plants developed to be able to live on land and which plants were the most successful in propagating on land…
Grandpa Flex and Dux discuss the various types of reptiles. Flex explains how primitive vertebrates eventually managed to cope with life on land. Certain descendants of the amphibians had the features necessary to make exactly this possible!
If food dropped like rain from the sky, wouldn't it be marvelous! Or would it? It could, after all, be messy. And you'd have no choice. What if you didn't like what fell? Or what if too much came? Have you ever thought of what it might be like to be squashed flat by a pancake?
The Flixies are introduced to a new concept, biodiversity – the wide variety of all forms of life. Why must there be so many species? Are all these form of life necessary? Would Spaceship Earth not have worked not as well with only a few types of super-animals and super-plants on Earth? Dux explains to Blox that there are one hundred million different types of plants and animals to which people have already given names – and that there are still places on Earth where there are most probably types of life which must still be discovered and described! Facto simply cannot wait to hear more…
Facto hears from the Flixies about a narrow strip of land near the coast of the Western and Southern Cape, where the most remarkable biome in the whole world can be found. It’s a biome that is so special and unique that it is considered one of the seven Plant Kingdoms of the world. Grandma Flox prepared special rainbow sosaties for the Flixies to nibble on while they listen to the wonderful story of the Cape Fynbos garden.
Princess Polly I'm a New Big Sister is part of Ladybird's successful Pirate Pete and Princess Polly range - introducing children to key milestones in a fun and reassuring way. This Ladybird sound book describes the excitement and fun of having a new sibling. The simple text and colourful illustrations will help little ones understand what happens when a new baby joins the family and how lovely it is to be an older sibling. Pressing the sound button each time to hear the baby giggle is also a great way to encourage young children to help out and play with the new baby, and reward their good behaviour. Other titles in the series include Pirate Pete's Potty, Princess Polly's Potty and Pirate Pete and Princess Polly Please and Thank You.
Grandpa Flex tells an interesting story about the first vertebrates, fish, how they moved out of the water and their progress to life and land. Scientist had naturally guessed what the earliest clumsy, ancient fishes must have looked like to be able to crawl out of the water and explore life on land. Fossils were even found to support the scientists’ assumptions – fossils of giant lobe-finned fish, which had fins that looked like primitive legs!
Oupa Flex vertel ’n baie interessante storie oor die eerste werweldiere, visse, en hoe dit gekom het dat hulle uitbeweeg het land toe. Wetenskaplikes het natuurlik geraai hoe die eerste ou lomp visse wat uit die water kon kruip en die lewe op land kon verken, moes gelyk het. Daar is later fossiele gevind om hierdie raaiskote van wetenskaplikes te ondersteun – fossiele van reuse lobvinvisse, waarvan die vinne amper soos primitiewe bene gelyk het!

A little box of first books featuring Beatrix Potter's classic character, Peter Rabbit! My First Learning Library contains four chunky board books that introduce the youngest children to early concepts. The titles are: Words, Numbers, Shapes and Colours. The palette is soft and illustrations are in the classic Potter style. Each double page contains a single illustration and just one simple word. These hard-wearing board books will soon become firm family favourites, and are the perfect introduction for very young children to the wonderful world of Beatrix Potter. Beatrix Potter is regarded as one of the world's best-loved children's authors of all time. From her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, published by Frederick Warne in 1902, she went on to create a series of stories based around animal characters including Mrs. Tiggy-winkle, Benjamin Bunny, Jemima Puddle-duck, Mr. Jeremy Fisher and Tom Kitten. Her humorous, lively tales and beautiful illustrations have become a natural part of childhood. Today Beatrix Potter's original 23 tales are still published by Frederick Warne, alongside a wide range of other formats including baby books, activity books and gift and sound books. Look out for Beatrix Potter's original series of classic tales, published by Warne: 1 The Tale of Peter Rabbit 2 The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin 3 The Tailor of Gloucester 4 The Tale of Benjamin Bunny 5 The Tale of Two Bad Mice 6 The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle 7 The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher 8 The Tale of Tom Kitten 9 The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck 10 The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies 11 The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse 12 The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes 13 The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse 14 The Tale of Mr. Tod 15 The Tale of Pigling Bland 16 The Tale of Samuel Whiskers 17 The Tale of The Pie and the Patty-Pan 18 The Tale of Ginger and Pickles 19 The Tale of Little Pig Robinson 20 The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit 21 The Story of Miss Moppet 22 Appley Dapply's Nursery Rhymes 23 Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes
Die Flixies hoor in hierdie storie wat die werweldiere se wenresep was – ’n skelet binne-in die liggaam, wat van been en kraakbeen gemaak is, waaraan spiere kon vasheg. Werweldiere het unieke eienskappe gehad wat hulle aanpasbaar op land gemaak het en sodoende is talle nisse gevul wat die land nog verder vir ander lewensvorme oopgemaak het! Die Onderwysersgids sluit in:
Die Flixies leer vir ons een van hulle belangrikste geheime: verskeidenheid. So leer ons wat die woord biodiversiteit beteken en hoekom dit so belangrik is dat ons dit moet verstaan. Facto leer van die baie verskillende soorte plante en diere op Aarde en dat elkeen wat ontdek word, 'n naam moet kry. Ouma Flox verras die Flixies met 'n spesiale stuk borduurwerk... Die Onderwysersgids sluit in:
Facto hoor interessante stories van groen plante – Ruimteskip Aarde se lugversorgers - wat sorg dat daar genoeg suurstof in die atmosfeer is en dat 'n ander giftige gas, kooldioksied, verwyder word. Hy leer by die Flixies van hoe plante ontwikkel het vanaf klein, byna onsigbare mosplantjies, tot die reuse bome wat ons oral sien. Die Onderwysersgids sluit in:
Die eerste groen plante het in water geleef. Omdat toestande op land baie anders is as in water, sou die oudste plante eenvoudig uitdroog en nie kon regop bly sonder die ondersteuning wat water bied nie. Facto leer hoe plante ontwikkel het sodat hulle, hulle op land kon vestig en watter plante op die ou end suksesvol was en oral op land begin groei het... Die Onderwysersgids sluit in:
Oupa Flex en Dux is aan die woord en vertel van reptiele, sort vir soort. Flex vertel hoe primitiewe werweldiere uiteindelik geskik genoeg was om landlewe baas te raak. Sekere afstammelinge van die amfibieë het die nodige eienskappe gehad wat juis dit moontlik gemaak het! Die Onderwysersgids sluit in:
Wie was die suksesvolste groep in die ganse diereryk? Facto vind uit waaraan geleedpotiges se sukses toegeskryf kan word en hoekom hulle as die eerste egte landdiere beskou word. Die Flixies speel 'n raaiselspeletjie oor goggas en gesels ook onder mekaar oor skaaldiere, veelpotiges, spinnekoppe en skerpioene en oor die eerste diere wat kon vlieg – insekte!
