Hennie Aucamp bewys met hierdie bundel dat hy 'n ewe vernuftige
skrywer van kinderverse as van kabarettekste en gedigte is. Baie
van die versies verwys na eietydse dinge soos sms'e, pizzas en
Croc-skoene wat vir vandag se kinders aantreklik sal wees. Die
meeste van die versies handel egter oor die gewone dinge van die
kinderwereld: oumas en oupas, mammas en pappas, troeteldiere,
speelgoed, badtyd, voeltjies, goggas en paddas. Aucamp skram egter
nie daarvan weg om effens meer gesofistikeerde verwysings byna
ongesiens in die verse in te glip nie, soos in die onsinversie oor
oom Nathan die Ou Wyse en die verhaal van "Oorlede Dina Sourus",
wat die verse ook vir die voorlesers genotvol sal maak. Slim
woordspel, vindingryke ryme en Aucamp se trefsekere gevoel vir
ritme maak dat hierdie versies gou onder die klassieke kinderverse
in Afrikaans gaan tel.

"Long ago, when giants lived in Scotland and Ireland, they stood so
tall they could see clearly across the wide water between the two
lands." One day, Irish giant Finn McCool spots Scottish giant
Benandonner across the sea and they immediately begin arguing about
who is the best giant of all. Despite the wise advice of Finn's
wife Oona, they decide the only way to settle their feud is to
fight. But to meet, the daft and boastful giants must first build a
causeway across the water... Inspired by Celtic folklore,
best-selling Scottish children's author and storyteller Lari Don
weaves a tall tale of rivalry and foolishness that recounts the
origins of Northern Ireland's world-famous Giant's Causeway and its
connection to Scotland's Isle of Staffa. Emilie Gill's
light-hearted, characterful illustrations of the legendary giants
will captivate young children.

trail of a mysterious blue creature in this fun picture book! A
detective tries to uncover the truth about the infamous 'Blue
Bagoo' - a creature so big and scary that it can't possibly be made
up, can it? Our detective addresses us - the reader - on the very

Blue Bagoo proves elusive, but rumours of its 'supposed' qualities
have spread throughout the town. However, as the investigation
proceeds, there is a critical twist.... This is a tale of rumours
and fears, that also teaches us a gentle lesson about jumping to
conclusions and judging others!
