‘Hi Mole, can you make some shoes for me?I need special ones. Very special, customized.’‘Why?’ asks Mole.

‘Because I need them,’ says Sheep.‘When children go to sleep, they count me a hundred times.Every time they think of me while counting, I leap over a fence.’

‘You need solid, sturdy shoes then, so you can jump a lot?’ asks Mole.‘Exactly!’ says Sheep.

The plot is witty and for some very recognizable, the illustrations are extremely funny and the message never gets preachy.– De Standaard on Heart

Joe runs into the kitchen. “Mum! An egg!” He lifts up the egg. Just feel it. It is still warm! “Didn’t I say so?” Dad laughs. “That the chicken would lay an egg.” Mum picks up the egg. “So she has!” she says. “Mmm, I will boil it now. And then I will tap the top and cut it off. Delicious!”

She turns the egg over in her hand. Then she looks at Joe. “What are those numbers doing there?” Joe goes red. “What?” he asks. But he can already see it. There is a stamp on the egg. “Nice one Joe”, Dad says. “Did you do that? With your stamp set”? Joe hears Mum laugh. “Haha. You’re a right one.” She puts him on her lap. “You nearly

had me there. With your warm egg…” “Does Chicken have to go in the pot now?” Joe asks. “Now it’s not her egg?” “We’ll see,” Mum says.

Evelien De Vlieger writes in a unique and remarkably fluent style. Whether she is writing for teenagers, in-betweeners or young children, it is always exactly right. She delights in playing with false expectations and ingenious links. – De Morgen on Joe and the pigeon
