The enormous crocodile is incredibly greedy. He plans to guzzle as many children as he can for his lunch. Luckily, he's not very clever, and the other animals in the jungle are determined to spoil his wicked schemes and teach him a lesson he won't forget. Suggested level: junior, primary.
Every Saturday morning the Greg family goes off to shoot animals and birds. But the girl who lives next door hates hunting. Now it's made her so angry she's Put the Magic Finger on Them All. And very strange things have begun to happen..
Willy Wonka's famous chocolate factory is opening at last! But only five lucky children will be allowed inside. And the winners are: Augustus Gloop, an enormously fat boy whose hobby is eating; Veruca Salt, a spoiled-rotten brat whose parents are wrapped around her little finger; Violet Beauregarde, a dim-witted gum-chewer with the fastest jaws around; Mike Teavee, a toy pistol-toting gangster-in-training who is obsessed with television; and Charlie Bucket, Our Hero, a boy who is honest and kind, brave and true, and good and ready for the wildest time of his life!
Bloemlezing van verhalen rond Kerstmis van Nederlandse schrijvers.
Bundel met negentien kerstverhalen van Nederlandse en Vlaamse auteurs.
Vierendertig zeer korte verhalen en twee gedichten, bedoeld om de lezer een hart onder de riem te steken. De samenstellers combineren Jos Brink met Marga Minco en Mien van 't Sant met Marjan Berk of zoals de flaptekst zegt 'bekende en geliefde' Nederlandse hedendaagse auteurs. Het resultaat is een allegaartje waar geen lezerskring voor te definiren valt. Dat mensen door lezing van deze bundel met moeilijke momenten verzoend raken, zoals de flaptekst suggereert, lijkt me onwaarschijnlijk, juist omdat zoveel goede bedoelingen bij elkaar wat te veel van het goede is. Het woord - Blij - staat met grote veelkleurige metallicletters op de omslag; normale druk.(Biblion recensie, Tonnie Haarsma.)
