Mark Janssen is a master in creating worlds where everything is possible. Previously we joined two brothers on a dinosaur hunt in a magical forest in Dinos Don't Exist and travelled the oceans on the back of a giant turtle in Island. This time Mark Janssen invites us to help two sisters who want to get rid of a trolley full of what seems to be rubbish. But on their way, big scary monsters try to stop them... What are these terrifying creatures after? Will the girls manage to defy them? Find out in this thrilling, fun picture book, that features just one word: Stop! From the author of I Want a Lion.

Of course, everyone knows dinos don't exist, so there's no need to be scared - or is there? T he reader soon see s the brothers climb through rocks that are really dinosaur teeth and mountains that are sharp dinosaur horns . Then, as each page unfolds, the landscape reveals itself to be full of dinosaurs! Mark Janssen's plays visual tricks with scale. He creates a world of bold colourful illustrations where nothing is quite what it seems. Watch out and look closer ... that tree or hill might be a dinosaur, too.

Colourful fish dart in the waves and birds swoop in the sky. Island life is full of the unexpecte d. The i sland protects the family against all kinds of dangers, from tropical storms to arctic snow. Menacing animals lurk underwater, too. The island has its own secret, too. Eventually, the family is rescued.

Island is a wordless picture book. Children are encouraged to study the wonderful illustrations and tell the story in their own words. Mark Janssen s painterly illustrations come alive on the page. S un hi ts the water and sparkles. S plashes of paint become shoals of fish. This is a charming picture book full of imagination.

It is evening. Sarah and Nick are thinking about their dull day. Nothing happened, really... Well... Nick did stand on his hands, went for a swim and sat around for a bit – and Sarah caught a glimpse of a butterfly and went down a slide. But this is where the magic of children’s imagination emerges – dreamily illustrated by Mark Janssen. For th e handstand was made on the head of a tiger. Nick took a rest on the nose of an enormous dragon and swam with colourful fish. And Sarah slid down an elephant’s trunk and saw the butterfly while she was standing among some really cuddly bears. With Sarah a nd Nick, you slip back into the world where you also used to walk home with lions and sing higher than the brightly coloured tropical birds. A delightfully cheerful book that sparkles with fantasy and erases all boundaries between dream and daily reality. A must - have for every child – and for every parent who remembers being one.
