Abygale Aardvark and her Wildlife Friends

Abygale Aardvark and her Wildlife Friends is a carefully researched and
beautifully presented book for readers of all ages dedicated to protecting and
enriching Africa’s wonderful wildlife. This unique collection features twenty
stories where real wildlife characters tell their own tales, introduced and
commented on by fictional narrator Abygale Aardvark.

Aardvarks, Aardwolfs, Giraffes, Hornbills, Baboons, White-eyes, Impala, Redbilled
Oxpeckers, Cape Buffalo, Red-chested Cuckoos, Honey-Bees and Termites
reveal who they are “friends” with and how they work together “for a better
life.” Three valuable back sections enhance the reading experience: “What’s
in a name?” explains scientific names, cardboard cut-out badges encourage
conservation involvement, and Abygale’s Glossary clarifies terminology.

Each story delivers a powerful conservation message—that every species needs
collective help to survive into the future. This book serves as an open invitation
for all to participate in wildlife protection.

Available in both English and Afrikaans (Evie Erdvark en haar Natuurvriende), it
meets CAPS curriculum goals for Grades 4-7, providing ecological knowledge in
a refreshingly engaging format.
