A kind visit, when the author was seriously ill in hospital,
together with a thoughtful gift of a little teddy bear inspired him
to write stories of the world as seen through the childlike eyes of
this bear. Though written for children in a Harrogate school they
will appeal to children wherever they happen to be and in addition
can lead anyone, of any age, to look again at many things we take
for granted that can be misleading to a child. Indeed a good read
for anyone of any age. The author has spent a lifetime working for
and alongside children in England as well as in East Africa.

The antics of Bomani and his friends will provide hours of

opportunities to teach lasting life lessons to children. As you

Follow Juney Brown Toes, a young and adventurous Hare, her friends
Slow Freddy and Tufty Thomas, and many others, as they spend a
remarkable 'Mad March' day, racing, chasing and being chased by
friends and enemies alike. What will Juney do when the evil Grey
Hound shows up unexpectedly in the middle of a dangerous 'Hare of
the Dog' game, and will Farmer, and his daughter Samantha, be of
any help to save poor Slow Freddy from the jaws of the Grey Hound!
Hare's have been a fascination of mine for sometime. I've rarely
seen one! I remember walking above Lancaster, my hometown, some
years ago. It was a beautiful, crisp, sunny morning and the ground
was covered in a layer of snow. In nearly every field we walked
through a Hare would bolt from the hedge nearby and race across the
snow covered ground. They were magical to watch, almost alien in
appearance, and completely fascinating to me. I have since done
research on them, and they become more interesting with every new
fact I learn. They are ancient animals, and ever present in
mythologies from around the world. They are low down on the food
chain, and even buck rabbits have been known to kill Leverets now
and then. Speed and stealth are their only defenses, and they have
been clocked at near forty-five miles an hour, one of the fastest
land animals. Anyway I digress, this book is about Hares, it is
primarily written as a 'read to' book, for children of all ages. It
is an adventure/fantasy short story, and Hares are the heroes, with
a little girl taking a strong supporting role. The cherry-wood
carving of the Hare actually exists in my garden, and its origins,
bought from the side of the road from a bodger, are true too.
Otherwise this is a work of fiction written out of a love and
fascination for Hares, I hope you enjoy.
As a child, I begged my father to make up his wonderful stories as
I tried to go to sleep. This book is a tribute to my father who
steeped me in the family tradition of story telling. I found that
making up stories was the only way to get my older daughter to
sleep. This was in response to the frequent request of "stay with
me while I go to sleep". After many years and now that both my
daughters are grown up, I have put pen to paper to help distraught
mums and dads get their small children to sleep. I wish you all
sweet dreams
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.
RESPECTisms are a set of timely principles that collectively form a
powerful process for change through positive character development.

by turning it into a positive and powerful acronym that exemplifies
seven principles for successful living.
Hierdie pragtig geillustreerde boek geskryf deur Ewald van
Rensburg, is propvol inspirerende stories met kleurvolle karakters.
Een hiervan is dapper Bomani, 'n baie spesiale meerkat wat jong
kinders sal aanmoedig om anders te lewe terwyl hulle deur sy
wonderlike avonture vermaak word. Die ideale boek vir ouers en
versorgers van jong kinders. Daar is 3 verskillende stories. Na
elke storie is daar ’n toepassing, ’n verwysing na ’n Bybelteks, ’n
gebed asook ‘n prentjie-aktiwiteit.
