“I enjoyed Smelly Fish Island for its humorous and engaging story that teaches important life lessons. The quirky characters and focus on the smelly fish made problem-solving and emotional growth fun for both kids and adults.” 

– Mizzy Daniels, via Goodreads

Smelly Fish Island is a fantastic book that teaches us about the importance of community and language, particularly English. I think this book can serve as a great resource for learning. Over and above its great message, this book is packed with educational nuggets. Readers can learn a few isiXhosa words along with their translations and pronunciations. The detailed page numbers include simple math equations. Colourful and detailed illustrations make it a pleasure to read.”

“The lesson behind the story is that English is the language of international communication and that learning to speak and read English would be beneficial to persons of all ages. This is because language allows us to share our ideas , thoughts and feelings with others.”
