In the middle of the night, Melle wakes up. A strange little creature is sitting on the edge of his bed. It looks like a ball of wool, with little arms and legs and two hairy, pointed ears. But when Melle turns on the light, the little creature has disappeared. When he tells his classmates about it at school, everyone laughs at him. Even Dad, who is a biologist, says it’s nonsense, that such creatures don’t exist. But Melle is certain of what he saw... An imaginative and exciting adventure about Gorgels, Brutelaars, and a boy with super eyes, by comedian Jochem Myjer. Illustrated by Rick de Haas, known for Mees Kees. Suitable for reading aloud from age 5, independent reading from age 7. Jochem Myjer is one of the country’s greatest and most beloved comedians.
