Product Information

Ug’s mum doesn’t like the exciting new words that Ug uses (e.g. nice and terrific). Can you think of other amazing words that Ug’s mum wouldn’t like to hear? Close within the forest’s eastern boundary, a small village unobtrusively ekes out a living, untroubled by the war consuming the rich lands to the east. Simple people existing in harmony with their environment: respectful of the natural world but wary of the supernatural.

It’s as though he is a spoiled girl planning a party and she wants to use invitations to exert her power,” Jaafar says. “Who to include, exclude? Each moment her mood shifts and so does the invitation list. It’s ludicrous.” Follow one day in the real lives of seven kids from around the world-Italy, Japan, Iran, India, Peru, Uganda, and Russia! Ug wants to bend the stream so that it is nearer to his cave. Can you find out how people use rivers and streams?Ug’s mum tells him to go and play with stones. Can you make up some (safe) games that could be played with stones? This comic book is about a Stone Age Family that not only lives in a cave but also wears stone pants and sleeps under stone blankets, because... well, that’s just how things are done: “This is why nowadays is called the Stone Age... [footnote: No one living in the Stone Age would know he was living in the Stone Age. He would believe he was living in the Modern Age. Today we believe we are living in the Modern Age. Time will tell.]” In Japan, Kei plays Freeze Tag, while in Uganda, Daphine likes to jump rope. While the way they play may differ, the shared rhythm of their days-and this one world we all share-unites them. In her fiction debut, Doreen Baingana follows a Ugandan girl as she navigates the uncertain terrain of adolescence. Set mostly in pastoral Entebbe with stops in the cities Kampala and Los Angeles, Tropical Fish depicts the reality of life for Christine Mugisha and her family after Idi Amin’s dictatorship. A subtle, important, theoretically innovative, and elegantly written study that centralizes feminist thinking and shows why it matters." -Feminist Africa In Idi Amin's Shadow is a rich social history examining Ugandan women's complex and sometimes paradoxical relationship to Amin's military state. Based on more than one hundred interviews with women who survived the regime, as well as a wide range of primary sources, this book reveals how the violence of Amin's militarism resulted in both opportunities and challenges for women. Some assumed positions of political power or became successful entrepreneurs, while others endured sexual assault or experienced the trauma of…

Familia ya lugha ya Kiswahili imekuwepo kwa karne nyingi. Tujifunze kuzipenda na kuzitetea lugha zetu kwa faida ya vizazi vijavyo.”Can you identify any new words used in the text (e.g. neanderthal, carcase, anachronism). Can you find out what these words mean? Could you make a glossary to explain their definitions? Perhaps you know Briggs' wordless picture book The Snowman? Well, thanks to Rosemary, I read this sort of picture book reflection on the nature of curiosity, imagination, and invention set in The Stone Age, where people mainly live a stone-centric life; they wear stone clothes, play with stone, and so on. But one boy, Ug, wonders why he has to wear carved stone pants and why not soft trousers? And why not heat the food? Why not a boat with materials lighter than stone (which as you imagine, works out so well!). Why only live in caves? It is a wonderful work of the imagination, with young humans and faerie folk coming together to meet transient conflicts, but ultimately facing a more enduring challenge, that of preserving the nation’s woodlands from the rapacious incursions of those who would decimate and eventually destroy them for their own selfish personal gain.

No matter if you are appearing for the exam this year or later, one of the most crucial aspects of your preparation is your study materials. For an exam as competitive as NEET (UG), when it comes to books, one may think the more the merrier. However, too many cooks may spoil the broth.

Writing questions about a text; start with the words 'Who, What, When, Where and Why'. Use the visual cues to help. Then think about the text and fill in the rest of the sentence. Here is an example: In the story, Ug’s family only have mud, bushes and stones. Can you make a list of the materials that we can use today? How would you describe each material? How are different materials used? Why are certain materials used for specific purposes? Don’t think that descriptions of natural beauty might deter a young reader, this is a thrill-a-minute narrative, spiced with humour and vivid characters. The dramatis personae, villagers and faeries alike, are all endearing; particularly the eponymous Ug, who, fierce and malevolent foe to intruders into his domain, is also guardian and tender gardener. It is a rich cast, with guest appearances from travelling minstrels, a relic toting frier, a handsome young Norman, rampaging Norsemen, and finally trolls… but I mustn’t give too much away. I loved the writing, and the notes about all the anachronisms used. There is a lot of great information in here, as well as a great story.

Raymond Briggs write the children's story 'Ug' in 2017. Ug, tells us the story of a boy living with his parents in the Stone Age. This means stone blankets, stone-cold food, an even colder cave and, worst of all, hard stone trousers! Ug suggests a series of modifications to improve the quality of family life. His ideas about heating, cooking, boat, and balls that actually bounce are initially met with a hostile reaction. Through the story we follow Ug as he tries to teach his family how to look at things differently, and even more importantly how to WEAR things differently. I loved this book! It just arrived in the post today and I had to read it immediately. The drawings, as always with Raymond Briggs, are lovely. The stone age furniture and clothing is (barely) serviceable and clearly pre-Flintstone. Ug has big ideas about how to change things for the better - but his mother hates any thoughts of change: this is the way we have always done it, this is the way we will always continue to do it. Maybe some nice, warm, soft trousers would improve her mood - but I would not hold my breath. It is so engaging with its amusing tongue-in-cheek fictional style text that offers historical facts that link to modern day. A soaring and sublime epic. One of those great stories that was just waiting to be told."—Marlon James, Man Booker Prize-winning author of A Brief History of Seven Killings Make some instructions to teach Ug’s family about things that might help them (e.g. writing / cooking / catching food / making boats / finding new materials to use).

Personal notes The stories were like an invitation to a place where people freely talk about real-life experiences that one wouldn’t have heard somewhere else. It chronicles the life of Ugandan women and their interaction with changes and challenges, while focusing on the twin themes of departing and returning. Why doesn’t Ug’s boat float on the water?
