“Hiep hoera!” skree Janneman. “Oplaas het ek my jeti!” Maar die
monster grom en brom verstom: “My naam is liewe Bettie!” Kom soek
saam met Janneman na die jeti. Met net 'n kaart, 'n warm mus en 'n
blik spaghetti in sy rugsak, klim Janneman teen 'n berg uit en as
hy bo kom, sien hy dadelik die jeti! Maar wag so bietjie...kyk net
daardie lipstiffie! Kan dit regtig die jeti wees? Spaghetti with
the yeti is in 2013 benoem vir die Roald Dahl funny prize. Die
snaakse avontuurverhaal is nou in Philip de Vos se sprankelende
Afrikaanse rymvertaling beskikbaar!
Scotty is a little Scotty dog who was blown onto the Isle of Mull,
deep in the heart of a storm. But when a fisherman gives him an old
collar with ancient writing on it, Scotty is whirled off on a
series of extraordinary journeys with his best friend Owl.
Crotchety old Owl loves trees - his home being one - and the collar
whisks them away to India to see the Banyan, to Brazil to see the
last tree left standing, and to East Africa, where new seedlings
are sprouting gently into fresh forests. Climate change can
sometimes be a little frightening, and Scotty's story is a tale
about the small changes we can all make to protect the planet. Will
Scotty and Owl get home safely from their journeys around the
world? Will Owl manage not to lose all his feathers flapping after
the little Scotty, with his nose for adventure? Will they both
learn something extraordinary about trees, home, and how to protect
it by planting just one seed? Hold tight... Multi-million selling
author Conn Iggulden teams up again with fantastic illustrator
Lizzy Duncan on this environmental adventure. The story of Scotty
was initially produced by the Scotia Group for distribution to all
delegates in attendance at the UN's COP26 climate summit in
Glasgow. Conn and Lizzy are thrilled to be working with Little Door
Books to expand Scotty into a series that continues to tell the
story about how nobody is too small to make a difference, and no
difference is too small to make when it comes to saving our planet.
Excellent for schools and families wanting to find out more about
our world and how to help protect it. Publishing on World Earth Day

OUCH! My Tummy Hurts is intended to help inform children about the
medical world. It is the first book in the 'To the Doctors' series
that tells the tale of fictional characters going to the doctors to
get their aches, pains or their problem seen to by a doctor. In
this story, avid football player Oliver Price has a mysterious
tummy ache and loss of appetite. This book follows him 'to the
doctors' and throughout his medical journey towards making a full
recovery from his diagnosis... The aim of this series is to
dissolve children's fears and help educate them on medical problems
including, but not limited to, disabilities, injuries and
procedures. It aims to target curious kids, patients and perhaps
even aspiring doctors. Of course, this series is not a substitute
for medical advice and parents should always take medical concerns
to healthcare professionals. This series will simply outline the
process of dealing with medical issues in a child-friendly story
format to help 'establish the unestablished' for children who may
be fearful of the unknown and to even inspire children to go into a
medical profession. This book in particular focuses on Oliver, an
avid football player, and his mysterious tummy ache...
