"Stop! Ons is hier!” roep Haas. Vos sit die tasse neer. “Is jy seker dat dit hier is?” vra hy.“Ek sien net sand. En water. En twee bome.” Die derde boek in die bekroonde reeks oor Vos en Haas sluit ten opsigte van die leesvlak en die verhaallyn by die vorige twee dele aan. Vos en Haas op die eiland is geskryf in kort sinne, met ’n effens meer gevorderde woordeskat wat rekening hou met die jong leser se begripsvermoe. Die wisselende lettergroottes ondersteun die intonasie en beklemtoning wanneer daar hardop gelees word.

Everybody knew that a big fierce troll lived in the cave. Only one child cannot turn their back on the troll. One day, he draws a flower with every petal coloured in but one, and leaves the chalk outside the cave. The next day, the flower has been completed. Day-by-day, the boy and the troll finish each other's drawings, until they one shows a boy holding hands with a fierce, scary troll. "But you're not a troll," says the boy. "You're a boy - just like me." Patience, kindness and the power of art win out in the end: the two boys wordlessly draw together. Soon everyone joins in and forgets that there was ever a troll inside the cave.

This touching story delicately embodies the philosophy of art therapy, in the face of isolation and difficult emotions. From the creative duo behind A Shelter for Sadness, award-winning artist David Litchfield's illustrations are a joyful celebration of pavement art, which is sure to have little ones reaching for their own chalks.

In jou gedagtes kan jy orals wees, in die hemel sonder om eers dood te gaan, en hop-hoppetie-hop oor die Himalajas ... In jou gedagtes kan jy wees net wat jy wil, en ook alles word. Soos 'n walvis wat kan vlieg. Of 'n rob wat kan lees. In jou gedagtes kan jy doen wat jy glad nie kan doen nie. Jy kan he net wat jy wil, en begryp wat jy nie verstaan nie. En weet dat die tyd net 'n grappie van die son is. In jou gedagtes is 'n atmosferiese prenteboek oor hoe jy in jou gedagtes byna enigiets kan vermag. Jou gedagtes stel jou miskien selfs in staat om te begryp hoe 'n kindjie kan doodgaan, en 'n oupa gebore kan word. "Hierdie boekie het ek geskryf," se Van Veen, "na 'n geselsie met 'n man en 'n vrou wat my vertel het dat hul kindjie dalk nou 'n engeltjie is". 'n Prenteboek oor lewe en dood, geskik vir jonk en oud.

Kat is terug. Sy is in die bos. Wolf se bos! Wolf is bang vir Kat. Maar Hond nie. Hy help sy neef. Hoe? Dit kan jy in hierdie boek lees. ’n Prettige storie vir beginnerlesers deur die skrywer van die veelbekroonde boeke oor Vos en Haas. 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! Die warmte en humor van die stories word wonderlik aangevul deur Marije Tolman se skitterende tekeninge in volkleur. Dit maak hierdie eerste leeservaring iets onvergeetlik.

Leonard hou van honde. Hy weet alles oor hulle. Hy ken al die soorte en weet of hulle spits ore of slap ore het. Wanneer Leonard se: “Dis nie ’n worshond nie!”, dan is dit ook nie een nie. Natuurlik weet Leonard ook dat hulle almal skerp tande het. En dit is ’n probleem. Maar wat sal gebeur as Leonard op ’n dag wakker word en self ’n hond is?
