There are animals that are fantastic at disguising themselves. Some have camouflage or can change colour, so that they do not stand out in their environment, others even pretend to be other animals or plants. Masters of Disguise is an ode to these animals. First, it is explained how a certain animal manages to disguise itself, followed by a large search plate in which you have to discover the animal in question. Twelve animals are discussed, from the polar bear to the orchid mantis and from chameleons to mimic octopuses. Twelve astonishing stories and twelve beautiful search plates.

Everyone knows the favorite children's game memory, where the aim is to find as many double images as possible in a series of turned over playing cards. Memory Rabbit starts as a sheet full of playing cards with the backs facing up. The first card that is turned over is that of Rabbit. He crawls out of his card and goes in search of the other rabbit. The search of Rabbit is refreshing and funny, described by Maranke Rinck. Her husband Martijn van der Linden made the eye-catching, clear illustrations.

Smart, quiet and lonely - will Merel ever be able to fly? Merel is plucked from the roof of her school. Why was she there? Did she want to jump? Merel refuses to talk about it... Her life was fine - if a little lonely. She loved sitting at home with her mother, reading, watching the birds and dreaming of flying. And school was doable: she got good grades and didn't have to associate with anyone as long as she could spend her lunch breaks with Mrs. Wexley, the school librarian. But then Mrs. Wexley dies. Slowly but surely Merel discovers that there is another way to connect with people... and still be herself. A swinging way. Every quiet teenager - and everyone who has been a quiet teenager - will recognize themselves in Merel, hoping with her that she will find her wings and cheering when she flies.

Imagine flying above a storm-tossed sea. You are on a perilous journey, thousands of miles from land. Rain lashes the churning water. You have not set foot on solid ground for ten years. You are a giant albatross, forever on the move, searching for food. This is just one of the incredible migration stories in this book. Animals of all shapes and sizes make epic journeys across our planet, through wild weather, avoiding hungry predators, just to survive. Imagine the treks of emperor penguins, great white sharks, herds of elephants, millions of red crabs... Written by Mike Unwin, British travel writer of the year, with illustrations by Jenni Desmond, winner of the Vlag & Wimpel and Best Illustrated Children's Book Awards from the New York Times.

The meditations in "My Garden" are relaxing and enjoyable. They promote peace and create cozy moments.

The stories always begin in the home garden, where boys and girls have plenty to discover and experience. They crawl through the hedge and follow a path to a river. They smell flowers, pick strawberries, or are joined by an animal.

Reading aloud can be done during the day to create a moment of calm, or in the evening before bed. The unique drawings by Kyra Beeftink (age 10) and Pepijn Linden (age 10) demonstrate that the meditations can also serve as a source of creative inspiration.

Janni Meedendorp: "I created them for my children's yoga class. Parents asked for them when their children enthusiastically retold the stories or showed drawings of 'their' gardens. Now the meditations are available to everyone in this richly illustrated book."
