Dinosaurs of Africa

Frogs are appealing and colourful creatures and live just about anywhere, even in deserts. My first book of Southern African Frogs introduces 55 different types of frog and their calls – made instantly accessible in this new edition by scanning a QR code.

A short introduction outlines the main features of frogs and includes an illustration detailing their life cycle. For each species, there is:

• a short description in four languages, describing the frog’s main characteristics
• a full-colour illustration of the frog, and visual clues to its size and eggs
• a distribution map
• an illustrated habitat bar with an arrow to indicate where each frog is likely to be found

This charming introduction to frogs and their calls will keep children happily absorbed for hours. The parallel translations make this book suitable for mother-tongue learners in four official languages and those children wanting to improve their knowledge of a second or third language.

All text appears in English, Afrikaans, Xhosa and Zulu.

My First Book of Southern African Creepy-crawlies is the newest title in this very successful children’s series, and a companion to its sister edition on Southern African Insects. The book covers 58 spiders, snails, millipedes and other creatures (excluding insects) that are likely to be seen around the home and garden.

An illustrated introduction gives context to the subject, and then each page features:
* a vivid, full-colour illustration
* clear, informative text and visual clues for both pre- and beginner readers
* simple graphics conveying the creature’s size, what it eats and when it is active

This inspiring and beautifully illustrated book will introduce everyday creatures to both pre-readers and those beginning to read in their mother tongue.
