A subversive and hilarious spin on the well-loved fairy tale. The three little wolves erect first a solid brick house. The big bad pig comes along and when huffing and puffing fails to work, he uses a sledgehammer to bring the house down.

The three little wolves choose an even stronger design next time round: They erect a house, made of steel, barbed wire, armor plates and video entry system, but the pig finds a way to demolish it too.

Hierdie boek begin met eenvoudige woorde en kort sinne en word dan geleidelik ’n bietjie moeiliker. Die boek is egter so boeiend en snaaks dat die beginner-lesertjie dit nie eens sal agterkom nie!

Vos en Haas is ’n boek wat saam met die kind se leesvermoë “groei”. Maar dit is ook ’n boek om weer en weer te lees. Die warmte en humor van die stories word wonderlik aangevul deur Thé Tjong-Khing se skitterende tekeninge in volkleur.

Dit maak hierdie eerste leeservaring iets onvergeetliks.

This special book asks children a simple question: How Can We Be Kind? The answer is: by learning from the animal kingdom! Animals demonstrate kindness and empathy towards each other, and care and compassion can be seen all throughout the natural world. This book shows children the ways they can be kind just like animalsare to each other, while at the same time teaching them about the magic and the beauty of the natural world. They can learn to be welcoming like capybaras, who let other animals sit on top of them while they wallow in mud. Or perhaps they might want to be like dolphins, who guide other species to their destinations. Or maybe they would like to work together like ants and bees, share what they have like jackdaws or stick up for their friends like zebras. With beautiful illustrations from Darla Okada, this beautiful picture book will enchant and entertain children time and time again. There are facts at the back about how each animal lives with and looks after its fellow creatures. This sweet and thoughtful book is both a celebration of the animal world and a manifesto for being kind in everyday life.
