Roz Potgieter’s GabAna Wishes You a Merry Christmas is a beautifully illustrated children’s book. Go on an adventure with Gabi and Ana as they take you on a rhyming journey with colorful illustrations through all the things that make Christmas what it is. From sparkling lights and shiny tinsel to a mouth-watering Christmas dinner, caroling, and Santa’s elves. They share their favorite activities to do with their families and will even help your little ones remember Santa’s reindeer! This is the perfect Christmas book to add to your kid's bookshelf.
GabAna Wishes You a Merry Christmas is dedicated to Roz Potgieter’s grandchildren. The message that I love about this book is how it emphasizes the importance of family. A lot can distract you during the Christmas season, especially the shiny new toys that children dream of receiving on Christmas morning. But aside from all the glitz and glam of Christmas, Roz says that cherishing family is what Christmas represents for her. In a way, this book becomes a coming-of-age story regarding its main message, and how children should cherish those close to them and not worry too much about extravagant gifts. She shares that in the book too, and honestly it’s one of my favorite lines! She also made sure to talk about one notable difference with celebrating Christmas in the Southern Hemisphere and that kids should leave Santa an ice-cold ginger beer. That’s because it’s summertime, and they don’t experience a white and snowy Christmas.
Hazel
Roz captures so much in her stories. The imagination runs wild. Also I think the info given at the end is FANTASTIC.
Ten out of ten Roz.
Tanya

Gabriella Rose Meets the Pandas Funi and Wang Wang by Roz Potgieter is a fun-filled, educative children’s story centered on the wonderful adventures of an imaginative young girl. Gabi and her sister are on vacation with their parents in Adelaide, Australia. The girls are excited to be invited to two pandas’ birthday party at the zoo. On the eve of the pandas’ birthday party, Gabi has a dream that draws her into the world of pandas. They have a lovely time climbing rocks and playing games. Through Gabi’s ingenuity, they come up with a delightful dance routine but can the pandas learn the dance moves fast enough before the birthday begins and what will the crowd think of their dance routine?
Roz Potgieter beautifully integrates informative animal-related content into the adventure-packed story, Gabriella Rose Meets the Pandas Funi and Wang Wang. Children will be drawn to the sisters’ captivating adventures as they meet different animals in the zoo and learn about them. They will also love Gabi's and Ana’s costumes and Gabi’s creative dance ideas which she introduces to the pandas. I loved that the book also contains more educative information about pandas and their intriguing habits. Gabriella Rose Meets the Pandas Funi and Wang Wang is a splendid addition to the Gabriella Rose Dream Series. Children will learn from its eye-opening content and will enjoy the whimsical adventures included in the story. Enhanced by colorful illustrations, it will also ignite their imaginations and inspire them to love and appreciate animals.
