The Gorgels

An imaginative and exciting children's book about the adventures of a boy with super-eyes who can see strange, hairy creatures... And they really exist! The first children's book by the famous comedian Jochem Myjer.

In the middle of the night, Melle wakes up. There's a strange creature 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 creature is gone. When he tells 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 sure of what he saw...

An imaginative and exciting adventure about Gorgels, Brutelaars, and a boy with super-eyes, by Jochem Myjer. Illustrated by Rick de Haas, known for Mees Kees, and of course De Gorgels.

Awarded by the Dutch Children's Jury.
