The artist Piet Grobler made a splendid illustration for every animal (and of course, also for the nasty pianist), where he freely handles the interpretations of the text. In all respects, the book is a very successful picture art book, that will fascinate readers and viewers of all ages.

Instead, her grandmother sews her a very charming doll using an old corn cob that a customer presented to Matilda with the words »May it bring you happiness«. At school Matilda draws a striking portrait of her new doll - despite the scorn of some classmates - and wins first-prize in the art competition. With the considerable prize money she can buy the dress and gifts for others. This well-plotted and attractively illustrated tale depicts the universal feelings and challenges of childhood - desire, jealousy, rivalry and contentment. It is produced in a sturdy paperback edition.

Each of the magical short tales is accompanied by a magnificent full-page illustration, painted by well-known children’s book artists as well as by some talented new illustrators, and by one or two beautiful small black-and-white vignettes created by Teresa Williams. A short one-sentence-introduction preceding each tale and an appendix at the back of the book give additional information about the importance of the tale’s theme or protagonist and its popularity and about the tales’ illustrators and authors or retellers.

It addresses common prejudices against foreign people and unfamiliar situations in an amusing child-friendly way. In a mixture of brightly-coloured bold paintings expressing the unfounded speculations and colour-photographs depicting actual real-life scenes, the author shows how a young boy is not intimidated by the ridiculous warnings from some of his friends but rather sets out to discover the truth for himself. This committed booklet encourages its readers to be openminded and think critically.

How was he to know that the old man would suddenly conjure up an exciting tale that was to have a profound impact on Jedro’s life? Embedded in a moving frame story, the author offers young readers the gripping account of the life of a courageous black boy who decides to fight against slavery and unjust laws passed by the white government in 19century South Africa. Narrated in a direct and engaging style, the tale about Koot’s rebellion and his struggle against three banes prophesied to him by an old medicine woman immediately captivates the (fictional and real-life) audience. At the end, children will reluctantly surface from an enthralling read that also offers some insight into the life of black people in South Africa a century ago, their ancient culture, and the power of storytelling.
