Produktbeschreibung

The animals don't understand why they never see Bushbaby, so they assume he is shy. One by one, they try to coax him out of his hole in the tree, but Bushbaby never appears. As night falls, the animals head off to sleep. All, that is, except Owl, who has been silently observing the day's events. As Owl prepares for the night, he calls to Bushbaby, who bounds out of his hole, awake and alert. Throughout the hours of darkness, Owl, Bushbaby and the other nocturnal animals go about their everyday activities before returning to their beds as daybreak dawns.

Autorenporträt

The Wildest Dog is a thought-provoking story from prize-winning author Avril van der Merwe. She drew inspiration from watching the antics of her seven-month-old German Shepherd puppy who she adopted from a shelter in April 2021. Avril began writing for children when she worked as a pre-primary teacher in Cape Town, and high school English teacher in Johannesburg. She lives in Washington State (USA), where she works as an inspirational writer and speaker, as well as an author of children's, young adult and adult fiction, and poetry. Two of her short stories have been selected for an anthology for grades 4-7, to be published by Penguin Books in 2022.
