Dikkie Dik 's Birthday Picture Book

' Dikkie Dik is jarig' is a unique and sturdy book with a birthday cake with three candles to really blow out. And Dikkie Dik wants nothing more than to blow out those candles and eat the cake, but there is still a lot to do before the cat party can start: the streamers have to be hung, all the cat friends have to arrive... Can Dikkie Dik wait that long?

Jet Boeke made her first Dikkie Dik story in 1978, for the television program 'Sesame Street'. Since then, the orange tomcat has stolen the hearts of toddlers, preschoolers and their parents and has become an indispensable part of Dutch culture. Millions of copies of the books have now been sold.

Jet Boeke's orange tomcat will be celebrating its 45th anniversary in 2023.
