More funny, clever trickster tales from India. Prince Veera's
great-uncle, Raja Apoorva, invites the prince and his best friend,
Suku, to the summer festival in Peetalpur, where they participate
in some of the competitions. Can they make the peahen sing, though
peahens can't sing? Or win the painting competition, or even defeat
the country's champion wrestler? The boys face each challenge with
great wit and wisdom. Back at the palace, they are faced with more
challenges. Raja Apoorva enjoys puzzles and presents several to the
boys: who was the intruder who dared to pull the Raja's beard? How
can the journey to the seaside be shortened? And at court it's
Prince Veera and Suku who will decide which neighbour owns the tree
that produces the wonderful figs for the palace, as well as solve
the mysteries of the holy man and the astronomer. Four stories
packed with clever and amusing tricks and puzzles which will
delight children from 6 to 8 - and well beyond.
This is the story of Fergus, a little traction engine who always
liked to "do things right". One day, The Fat Controller asked him
to help Bill and Ben at the Quarry, but poor Fergus wasn't used to
their tricks. Read about the trouble they caused him ...

Hierdie is die tweede drie-in-een boek van Hanli die hasie! (Die
vlieende hasie; Die Ysprinses & Die Kersfeeswens). Hanli die
hasie is die Afrikaanse vertaling van die gewilde Engelse boek
Lettice – waarvan daar al oor ’n miljoen boeke verkoop is. Hanli is
’n vrolike hasie wat saam met haar gesin hoog teen die kruin van ’n
heuwel woon. Knibbel, knibbel, hop, hop, elke dag is presies
dieselfde, behalwe wanneer sy verras word! Op ’n dag sien Hanli ’n
pragtige pienk vliegtuig in die lug. Daar en dan besluit sy dat sy
ook wil vlieg. Sy flap haar arms, haar ore, selfs haar snorbaarde
en stert, maar niks werk nie. Sy plof moedeloos op die gras neer.
Sal ’n gewone hasie soos sy dan nooit kan vlieg nie?. ’n Ander keer
hoor Hanli hoe kinders oor Kersfees praat. Sy wou nog altyd geweet
het wat Kersfees is en besluit om die kinders te volg en self
ondersoek in te stel … Die wonderlikste verrassing van almal is toe
Hanli op ’n yskoue wintersoggend genooi word om saam met kinders op
die bevrore meer te ysskaats. Net toe sy dink die dag kan nie meer
betowerend word nie, kry sy die kans om voor die Ysprinses te dans
– heeltemal op haar eie. Hanli die hasie sal reguit in klein
dogtertjies se harte in hop!.
