Abygale Aardvark and her Wildlife Friends is a carefully researched
and beautifully presented book for readers of all ages dedicated to
the urgent need to protect and enrich the wonderful wildlife of
Africa. While each of the twenty stories is introduced and
commented on by fictional character Abygale Aardvark, she leaves
the actual story-telling to the real wildlife characters
themselves, so that Aardvarks, Aardwolfs, Giraffes, Hornbills,
Baboons, White-eyes, Impala, Red-billed Oxpeckers, Cape Buffalo,
Red-chested Cuckoos and even Honey-Bees and Termites have a chance
to tell their stories - who they are 'friends with and how they
work together 'for a better life'.
To respect environment in the broad sense, we must first develop a
respect for our own environment - the living world of plants and
small wildlife that surrounds us in our homes and gardens. Growing
plants is one of the most fundamental ways in which we can
introduce our children to the wonder and magic of the natural
environment. It is also one of the most accessible, as all
children, regardless of financial, geographical or social
circumstances, can try their hand at it - even if their gardening
efforts are limited to nurturing a few tomato seeds in a tin on the
window sill. In Gardening is fun, will encourage young - and old -
to explore the pleasures of gardening. The message is, conveyed by
means of simple text and lively, colourful illustrations, is that
gardening can be fun, easy and inexpensive - and that you certainly
do not need a large garden to enjoy the benefits. The title abounds
with practical suggestions on how to grow plants, interspersed with
down-to-earth ecological information aimed at fostering an
environmentally-friendly approach to gardening. The content
includes, among others, chapters on: Garden habitats; hints for
green-finger gardening; growing vegetables; your garden - a
wildlife sanctuary; managing problems.
