They sit very quietly together, Robin and Mom and Dad. Only Robin wobbles a little now and then. They look at the stars, the silent stars in the high, high sky. And the stars look at Robin and Mom and Dad and they wink. And then... and there... yes... Robin knows for sure... there falls a star! A flash, a streak, a glowing point that rushes through the sky. 'Did you see it? Did you see it?' Robin shouts. 'Did you see the falling star?' 'I saw it,' says Mom. 'Me too,' says Dad. 'Now we can all make a wish.' Robin is glad he didn't go pee. Do you know a child who didn't grow up with stories about Robin? There's nothing better than climbing onto Mom or Dad's lap to be read to, and from that safe place to step into Robin's world. In his world, the everyday becomes super exciting - exactly as life should be for a five-year-old. In 1990 Robins zomer (Robin's Summer) was published, the first book in a long series about Robin, the most endearing toddler in the Netherlands. Robin en God (Robin and God) - the sixth book in the series - was awarded a Gouden Griffel (Golden Griffel). With O rode papaver, boem pats knal (O red poppy, boom, bang), Sjoerd Kuyper proves once again that Robin is irresistible: for over 20 years he has looked at life with eternal childlike wonder.

There are millions of animals on Earth. They eat all sorts of different things and live in all sorts of different places… but they all have young. And they have all sorts of different ways to raise those babies. In simple words and colorful, vivid illustrations, it explains how there are big babies… and small ones. How some animals have babies that look exactly like them… and others have babies that look completely different. That there are mothers who stay with their children for years… and parents who run off before their eggs have even hatched. Discover the 7-meter-long baby blue whale, see how pipa frogs grow in their mother's back, and how a cuckoo lays her eggs in another bird's nest.

Where do animals live? A nature book for the youngest readers! There are millions of animals on earth. They all have young, they eat all sorts of different things and they almost all have their own homes… but they don’t all look the same. In simple words and colourful, clear drawings, it is told how an orangutan builds a new nest every day, a prairie dog lives in the same village for years, and a reindeer is always on the move.

From the first moment of seeing the terrier in The Umbrella, it was clear that the Schuberts have a knack for capturing expressive animals. In Opposites, the Schuberts have a blast as they present contrasts far beyond big and small. Best of all, the Schuberts let their imaginations fly as high as a crocodile - or perhaps flying crocodiles only occur in Schubert books? A multitude of details will ensure requests for repeat readings.

How heavy are clouds? Who invented the pencil? How many different knots are there? From the Fibonacci sequence to atomic structure. From the periodic table of elements to solstices and equinoxes.

Rivers. The human skeleton... There is a book to savor on everything. Whoever starts looking and reading, will not be able to stop.
