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.

There was a dinosaur, his name was Kees van Dijk. He lived with his wife Marie in the neighbourhood of Waterswijk. In the playful way that makes their picture book texts so appealing, Erik van Os and Elle van Lieshout hop through the life of the dinosaur family Van Dijk. We hear how dad goes hunting and mom does the housework, how Kareltje – the child – plays with his friends and the family sits down for a nice meal in the evening. And before going to sleep, father Kees naturally tells a story… And when they went to sleep at sunset, Kareltje said: 'Tell me dad!' and Kees van Dijk started talking about the future and with everything Kees made up, it seemed as if he could see far into the future. And that future perspective seems very much like our own daily life! Andersen illustrator Jan Jutte paints a cheerful and exuberant dinosaur existence in his characteristic strong lines and powerful colours, in which there is plenty to discover. A picture book that is also a treat for boys.

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.

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.
