About: Abygale Aardvark and her Wildlife Friends, by Lynn Hurry

Abygale Aardvark is a long-nosed, soft-eyed big-eared friend of wildlife who lives deep in the heart of the Dukuduku forest, on the edge of the dusty, red-earthed iMfolosi Plains of South Africa. Abygale Aardvark and her Wildlife Friends is a book for young(er) readers dedicated to the urgent need to protect and enrich the wildlife of Africa. While each of the twenty stories is introduced and commented on by fictional character Abygale Aardvark, she leaves the actual story-telling to the real wildlife characters themselves, so that Aardvarks, Aardwolfs, Giraffes, Hornbills, Baboons, White-eyes, Impala, Red-billed Oxpeckers, Cape Buffalo, Red-chested Cuckoos and even Honey-Bees and Termites have a chance to tell their stories. Every story has a final message, that every animal species, from a sparrouo to a crocodile needs the help of everyone if they are to survive into the future and this book is an open invitation for all to participate. Abygale Aardvark and her Wildlife Friends meets the goal of the curricula for both Grades 4-6 and for Grade 7 of the Secondary Phase by providing new knowledge and understandings of the ecological world in a refreshingly different way.

Lynn Hurry has a Master's degree in Ecology and a Doctoral degree in Environmental Education.
