Bumble Books (Pty) Ltd publishes The Big Rescue – A little 5 tale.
The Big Rescue – A little 5 tale, written and illustrated by Janina Pechova, is a soft cover book of 32 pages. This delightful story of a puppy that got lost in the woods will delight readers of between three and eight years old. When the big 5 are not interested in helping the poor puppy, the little 5 – in spite of their small size and other obstacles – join forces to save him in an extraordinary manner. It is a beautiful story of bravery and courage. The eye-catching illustrations are bold, colourful and interesting.
Pechova was born in Prague, Czech Republic. She holds a BSc, a BA in Languages and a Fine Arts degree. She has written and illustrated several picture books.

In April 2021, Bumble Books launched the Bumble Books Buy-one-Donate-one Literacy Campaign. For every Bumble BODO-branded title sold – direct, online or retail – Bumble books will donate a copy of the same title in English or Afrikaans to one of the literacy projects it supports. This initiative has no impact on the retailer or end customer – the donation is managed by Bumble Books. Do support this worthwhile cause to get South African children reading.
I wholeheartedly recommend this visually attractive book. The lovely story is all about empathy for others and great team work. It teaches children to be brave and kind.
Order your copy of The Big Rescue – A Little 5 Tale, here or get it at a good bookstore nationwide. It is available in English and Afrikaans (Die groot redding – ’n klein 5-avontuur).
