Ever heard of ‘Giraffe Giggles’, ‘Jackal Juice’, ‘Tortoise Tarts’ or ‘Warthog Wraps’?  These are among some of the creative recipes conjured up in Tracy Going’s book, African Animals, Rhymes & Recipes.

Tracy Going, a former TV and radio news anchor has written this magical A-Z book for children about African animals found throughout our continent, cleverly describing in rhyme the animal’s habits, habitats & physical characteristics.

Here are some excerpts of the rhymes to wet your reading appetite :

E is for the extraordinary, enormous Elephant…
G is for the gentle and very graceful Giraffe…
W is for the wondering, weathered Warthog…
Y is for, yelping, yowling Yellow Baboon..

Exquisite illustrations of the animals in their habitats border and background the rhymes to take you on an imaginary wild-life journey.

Each rhyme is followed by a recipe that is easy for kids to make (with a little supervision).  The recipe page gives guides on the ‘tools’ you will need for each recipe together with ‘you need’ (ingredients) and ‘how to make it’.

The finished products of these vegetarian and relatively healthy recipes are beautifully photographed for extra guidance on how your end result should look – and to get your tummy rumbling and mouth watering.

To add to this, at the end of the book there is additional interesting facts about the animals featured in Tracy’s rhymes.

Did you know that Jackals mate for life?  Or that baby Hippos are born under water?  What about that the Bat Eared fox has up to 50 teeth?…

When you buy this book, a percentage of the proceeds go to Child Welfare South Africa, an organisation who provides a loving, caring and nurturing environment for abandoned, abused and neglected children.

THANK YOU TRACY FOR SHARING YOUR LOVE OF NATURE
AND COOKING WITH OUR CHILDREN!

We have the pushy Stockbridge mother, and her prodigiously talented five-year-old son, who is making good progress with the saxophone and with his Italian.

Then there is Domenica Macdonald who is that type of Edinburgh lady who sees herself as a citizen of a broader intellectual world.
In McCall Smith’s hands such characters retain charm and novelty, simultaneously arousing both mirth and empathy. 44 Scotland Street is vintage McCall Smith, tackling issues of trust and honesty, snobbery and hypocrisy, love and loss, but all with great lightness of touch.

Clever, elegant and funny, this is a novel that provides huge entertainment but which is underpinned by the moral dilemmas of everyday life and the characters’ struggles to resolve them.

Minister Manuel also highlighted the main areas of spending as being Education, Rural development, Transport, Health, Sanitation, the Criminal Justice System and Social grants. Now Penguin Books allows you to meet the man behind the country’s sterling economic performance with Choice, Not Fate: The Life and Times of Trevor Manuel a book written by prestigious journalist and writer Pippa Green.
