A joy, my niece loved it
Great fun, just the right amount of spookiness. My niece was riveted as the story built, and then giggled like mad at the climax and immediately wanted to hear it again. Good characters, charming illustrations of the great African setting, and a creative, visually playful resolution. I've read a lot of books with my niece but this is a favorite.

my baba is mal oor hierdie boek
My 6 maande oue baba verkyk hom aan die prentjies en asek die gedigte lees rol die woorde so lekker oor my tong. Dit is werklik vir my 'n plesier om hierdie boek elke aan vir my kind voor te lees. Sy niggie van 7 jaar is trouens net so mal hieroor.
