A survival guide. A travelogue. A goldmine of information! Four years ago, I was traveling with friends through a remote corner of the Amazon when we came across an old, abandoned hut. In a corner of the camp, buried under fallen palm trees, we found a metal box that had rusted shut over the years. Curious, we opened it. There we saw a number of notebooks, diaries and sketchbooks, beautifully preserved because they were wrapped in plastic bags. At that moment, we did not yet know that we had found the life's work of an unknown artist and explorer. The letter that came with the books: If you are reading this, my notes have been found. I am leaving them here safely at my camp, with a few other things that I cannot take with me. These notes contain what I have discovered in my life, and I am now sharing them with you. In them you can find everything - from how to make a shelter to how to build a raft and camp in the wild - as well as a few of my own adventures. Read everything carefully. You will need it if you ever go on a journey of discovery yourself. Be a good person, have adventures… and look after your parents

'Let's go,' says the boy in the red jumper. The reader does just that, and becomes the center of the action in this unfolding adventure. A young boy with a wild imagination makes a trip to the corner shop to buy apples. It isn't far. Indeed, it's just a quick walk through the garden, but the boy's sense of wonder transforms an everyday errand into an odyssey. In the garden, a small coppice becomes a huge, dark wood with fire-breathing dragons and a sleeping giant. A pond becomes the high seas teeming with sharks and marauding pirates. There's a clever twist too. The boy asks the reader to join him on the expedition. Illustrations full of glorious detail show the scenes from above. The reader uses this birds-eye perspective to guide the boy through the adventure and even lends a hand by turning the pages to escape looming danger!

Children's favourite game of peekaboo - but in book form! What toddler doesn't love peekaboo games? That game, which they can never get enough of, is the starting point of these three colourful flip and flap books. When you open a page, you first see only 'bare' shapes. But under the flaps on the side, every page - peekaboo! - hides a wonderful world populated by the most diverse animals. Dogs, beetles, a grasshopper, an octopus: they are all imaginative elaborations of the basic shapes on the flap. Each of the three books deals with its own type of shape: triangular and zigzag shapes, round and flowing shapes and square and right-angled shapes. The animals match the character of the shapes. Square rhinoceroses rush enthusiastically towards their goal, triangular lobsters dance the tango with temperament and a round elephant makes a dreamy jump. The longer you look at the pictures, the more you discover in them. Little ones will playfully learn about the shapes, dream away with the special creatures and, just like in the real game, they will shout again and again after closing the book: 'One more time!'.

Long ago, crocodiles were still warm-blooded and there were mini-elephants. Read how different animal species have changed or evolved over the years. With fairly lifelike color illustrations.

It seems as if parents only tell you what you can and cannot do, but parents do much more and can be used for all kinds of things when playing. They hug you and on top of their shoulders you can see everything much better. But you have to be careful sometimes, because then they will tickle you to death. Very humorous picture book in which the relationship between a child and its parents is depicted in a loving and understanding way. All situations will be very recognizable for children and the book therefore invites, certainly also because of the expressive colorful illustrations (with many details), to interactive reading (and playing after reading). On the first two pages, parents are portrayed as educators who only tell you what you should and should not do, but in the rest of the book it becomes clear that children cannot do without them. The facial expressions of the parents are very beautiful, they sometimes show that children also demand a lot from them. Square, spacious and beautifully designed picture book that provides hours of viewing and playing pleasure.
