After Krik and Domper, Krik and Melle, Hanna Kraan completed the enthusiastically received series about the cheerful squirrel, the grumpy toad and the vain blackbird with De tuin van Krik. This calls for a special edition with all the stories about the trio! Now completely re-illustrated by Mies van Hout in beautiful color pictures. This ultimate reading bundle includes all the adventures that Krik, Domper and Melle experience in the garden of the Keizer family. Through the eyes of the small animals we see, among other things, how people interact with nature. Because even though we do not understand the animals, the stories show that they understand us all too well! Whoever has read (to) I am Krik, Krik am I will look around differently when he goes outside again. The world has become a little more beautiful. Thanks to Hanna Kraan. 'Every child falls in love with the red-brown squirrel with his fluffy tail, which is depicted on almost every page. I am Krik, Krik am I is a wonderful reading collection that every child should have read.' - Teacher Anke
