Mohlolo wa Mme Mabena (Sesotho)

This title forms part of the Little Library programme, which consists of a Literacy Kit, Numeracy Kit and Life Skills Kit. These were developed to respond to a need for high-quality, indigenous books for the younger members of our communities, and have been successfully used in schools for the last ten years. This title is found in the updated, OBE version of the Little Library Maths Kit, now called the Little Library Numeracy Kit. The Numeracy Kit keeps seven of the best stories, and introduces five new ones - all of them trialled in classrooms around the country. In Mama Mabena's magic, two Ndebele girls think that Mama Mabena has magic hands, because she can make beautiful patterns on the walls of her home. Then Mama Mabena shows them how they too can make magic. Main concepts: colour, shape, figure and ground perception and spatial concepts.
