Met Die beste kinderverse van Tienie Holloway kan jonk en oud van voor af die vreugde van Tienie Holloway-verse ontdek en in die proses terugkeer na die eenvoud van doodgewone dinge – padkos, pannekoek, pantoffels wat slof, touspring, ’n windpomp, waatlemoen, ’n toktokkie wat klop, of sommer net appelkooskonfyt op ’n sny brood!

Vandag is daar amper nie ’n generasie wat nie hier en daar ’n versreël of strofe uit ’n Tienie Holloway-vers onthou nie. Ongelukkig is haar bundels dun gesaai en nog net hier en daar op ’n biblioteekrak in ’n plattelandse dorp te vinde. Die beste kinderverse van Tienie Holloway is saamgestel deur Wendy Maartens en van pragtige volkleurillustrasies voorsien deur Alida Bothma.

Hierdie boek bevat sagsinnige rympies met gepasde teksture waaraan jou baba kan vat en voel. Dit is die ideale manier om jou baba op 'n sensoriese wyse bekend te stel aan plaasdiere.

Of jy nou glo in die noodlot of blote geluk of liefde met die eerste oogopslag, alle liefdesverhoudings moet iewers begin. Dié bundel bevat verhale oor eerste ontmoetings deur gevestigde skrywers soos Jaco Jacobs, Zelda Bezuidenhout, Refiloe Moahloli en Sally Partridge en nuwe stemme soos Cliffordene Norton en Mercy Kannemeyer. Die verhale is soms romanties, soms snaaks, soms alledaags, soms buitengewoon ... en die eindes meestal gelukkig. Die bundel is ryk aan diversiteit en bied ’n verskeidenheid wat betref identiteit, karakters en agtergronde.

Hierdie is die tweede drie-in-een boek van Hanli die hasie! (Die vlieende hasie; Die Ysprinses & Die Kersfeeswens).

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!.
