This heart-warming bedtime story about an elephant-shrew,
Mister Sengi, and his quest for greater stature, takes children on
a magical moonlight tour through the bushveld. Encounters with
animals both helpful and menacing carry the reader on to the
fairy-tale ending, which sees Mister Sengi safely tucked up in bed.
This companion volume to David du Plessis' earlier Mister
King's Incredible Journey will enchant children with its delightful
illustrations. Du Plessis' carefully observed animals evoke both
the peace and the terror of the bushveld, and the captivating
images will become firm favourites with small children.
Mister Sengi's Very Big Friend is sure to become a regular
choice at bedtime.
