Popcorn Bob

A boy plays with tangram. He uses the pieces to lay a cat - a wonderful cat of course; you can leave that up to Martijn van der Linden. But the cat feels lonely... Suddenly I understood the cat. 'You want someone to play with!' I said. The cat still didn 't say anything. But I knew I was right. Now tangram isn't easy. The boy thinks he's laying down a new cat, but it turns out to be a dog, which chases after the cat. A new try turns out to be a crocodile - not what you would call a nice friend! The cat has to put up with a lot before the boy gets a really good idea. He lays down himself! Now they can play together. Artist couple Martijn and Maranke constantly reinvent themselves. In Tangram Cat , they surpass themselves yet again. All pictures in the book can be made with the tangram game that is included at the back.

Tangram Cat

Five animal friends, awakened by a strange noise, discover a creature in the dark that seems to be a giant-sized version of each of them.

I Feel a Foot!

Wanneer Ellis op een dag popcorn maakt in de magnetron, gebeurt er iets vreemds. Een van de maïskorrels poft niet, maar zwelt op tot hij zo groot is als een kiwi. Er ploppen twee armpjes tevoorschijn en twee beentjes. Ellis staart de korrel aan, die nu een gezichtje heeft waarmee hij woedend terugkijkt...

Meisjes om te zoenen

Ellis loves popcorn. Who doesn't? But one day her school goes on a healthy eating campaign and her dads decide to follow suit, banning all snack foods from their house, INCLUDING POPCORN. Unfair. Ellis has got to get around that edict, so one night she pops a bag of popcorn out back in the garage...and she's met with more than just her favorite salty snack. One kernel refuses to pop, and soon it's sprouted a face, arms, and legs! He introduces himself as Popcorn Bob, and he is NOT in a good mood. (Ever, really.) He's absolutely ravenous, and no amount of food keeps him from being hangry. Bob causes no end of chaos for Ellis, and she decides to rid herself of him once and for all, except...she actually starts to like him. A chapter book for all ages, Popcorn Bob is a laugh-out-loud story about the power of friendship, and a perfect bowl of popcorn.

Imaginations run wild as five friends try to find out who is making night noises... Turtle and friends are fast asleep in their hammock. Suddenly, Turtle wakes up and whispers, 'Do you hear what I hear?' And so begins a detective tale with a twist. Who's making the noise? The animals in the hammock - Turtle, Bat, Octopus, Bird and Goat - let their imaginations run riot. Is it a giant bat? Or a bird with a huge beak? Perhaps it's a tur - bat - octo - bird - billy? After much guessing, it turns out to be a friendly elephant. The animals invite Elephant to join them in their hammock and soon new wild imaginings about the night noises begin all over again. A witty nocturnal guessing game from the author - illustrator team who created Tangram Cat.

Ellis en Bob hebben een belangrijke ontdekking gedaan: Bob is niet de enige levende maiskorrel! Er bestaan er nog meer, in Amerika. En Bob wil ze dolgraag ontmoeten. Gelukkig mogen Ellis en haar vaders logeren op de boerderij van Boer Bill. In de zomervakantie vliegen ze naar Amerika. Daar wordt duidelijk dat Coraline, de directeur van de popcornfabriek, nog veel gemener is dan Ellis en Bob dachten. Zal het ze lukken om haar tegen te houden, en alle levende maiskorrels te redden?
