REVIEWS
“Janina Pechová’s blend of delightful illustrations and imaginative storyline takes young readers into a whimsical world of small creatures. In an amusing parody of their big game namesakes the Little 5 confront the adversaries of the natural world with wit and adventure, ingeniously embracing real-life conservation and social issues. In the tradition of African storytelling The little 5 uses tales of the veld to entertain and inform.”
– VINCENT CARRUTHERS – Writer and environmentalist.
“There’s a special thing about children’s books where the writer is the illustrator; an extra harmony. Janina’s artwork is a visual kapow! Vivid and vigorous, full of intrigue and peppered with meaning that the written tale brings out step by step in delicious deliberate dollops.
– DENIS BECKETT – author and social commentator
