AG SHAME, BOKKIE!

What is a springbok without its spring? Just a… bok? When poor Springbok loses his spring, it is up to his friends to help him find it again, with hilarious consequences. Marleen Lammers’s humorous and touching story The Bok Who Lost His Spring is about recognising what makes you special, and the power of friendship. The cute and expressive illustrations of unmistakably South African scenes are by Gwendolene van der Merwe. It will be a hit with children from 3 to 6 years old.
