Dis Van Hunks en die Duiwel se skuld dat daar gereeld so 'n swaar
kleed oor Tafelberg le, so lui die ou-ou legende. Dit is ook van
hulle twee se rookkompetisie waar Duiwelspiek sy naam gekry het.
Met speelse, humoristiese teks en prettige, verbeeldingryke
illustrasies blaas Roelf van Rensburg en Theo Krynauw moderne woema
in 'n tydlose legende. In 'n sewentigtal kwatryne word vertel hoe
die pyprokende Van Hunks in die eerste plek in die Kaap beland het
– en wat sy rookmanie tot so 'n dawerende crescendo gedryf het. Die
feit dat hy oor toorkragte beskik wat hom onsterflik maak, is 'n
bron van eindelose frustrasie vir Van Riebeeck en sy kompanjie,
maar is beslis die kern van 'n kat-kom-weer-scenario wat lesers sal
laat skater. As jy nog nie die storie Van Hunks en die Duiwel
gehoor het nie, moet jy hierdie boek lees, so waar as wat Tafelberg
plat is. Ken jy dit wel, sal jy hierna opnuut jou oe spits wanneer
Duiwelspiek die dag onder 'n wolkkombers verdwyn.
Of all the questions astronauts are asked by kids, the most
frequent one is "How do you go to the toilet in space?" This book
not only answers that question, but many others about the effect of
zero gravity on the human body: How do you brush your hair in
space? What happens when you sweat? What does food taste like? The
best thing is that the answers are provided by Dr. Dave Williams, a
NASA astronaut who speaks from first-hand experience. Written for
kids ages 7 to 10, this book uses age-appropriate language to
explain the different phenomena that astronauts encounter during a
mission. The bright, colorful pages, short blocks of text
accompanied by photos and humorous illustrations make this a very
attractive choice for young readers. The opening message from Dr.
Dave empowers kids to follow his example by believing in themselves
and following their dreams.
