Review

‘Hofmeyr masterfully uses humour, and together with Theodore Key’s sharp and expressive illustrations that help tell the story, kids won’t notice that they are actually learning as well.’
− Rapport newspaper

‘An engaging and very funny story about an unusual friendship on the grasslands of Africa.’
− Die Pos newspaper

Feature

• A perfect first chapter book for nature-loving readers.
• The story creates awareness about the pangolin – the most trafficked animal in the world.

Description

Two very different nocturnal creatures learn the give and take of friendship on the African savannah, when they decide to open a hotel.

Aardvark, impulsive and full of ideas, is the perfect foil to Pangolin s calm and careful nature. The tempo of each chapter follows a pattern: Aardvark, the dreamer, suggests a half-baked idea. Pangolin refuses for rational reasons, then falls under Aardvark s spell, with the inevitable conflict that follows. Funny and adventurous, the story explores friendship and individuality. In the end it s the tiny gifts left by the animals who came to stay that help Pangolin appreciate what true friendship means.
