The world of the Gorgels

It's one of the coldest days of the year on the Island when little Gorgel Bobba is born in a warm hole beneath the snow-covered dunes. In spring, he plays outside with other Gorgels for the first time. At night, he has to go to school to learn about animals, plants, and, of course, human children! Bobba is one of the fastest Guard Gorgels-in-training, and when he receives his diploma after a few years, the Gray Gorgel gives him a picture of the little boy he's supposed to watch over. A little boy with curly hair. His name is Melle… Do Gorgels really exist? According to readers, they do! Comedian Jochem Myjer receives questions every day, and children email him their homemade Gorgels. In this picture book, he reveals a little more about their secret lives. Rick de Haas draws a warm world that every child would want to live in.
