Mark Janssen
Stop! Monsters!
Mark Janssen is a master in creating worlds where every-
thing 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!
The Dutch daily newspaper NRC found the perfect word to describe Mark Janssens picture books: ‘Wow!’
MARK JANSSEN (b. 1974) studied at the Academy for Visual
Arts in Maastricht. He has illustrated more than 500 books
for children and adults. Lemniscaat published his first picture
book Nothing Happened, which was enthusiastically received internationally, followed by Dinos Don’t Exist and Island.www.markjanssen.nl
What would you do if a monster crosses your path?

Erik van Os, Elle van Lieshout & Alice Hoogstad
How Much Does the Grey in an Elephant Weigh?
When you visit at the zoo,
Do you wonder like I do . . .
Why does a giraffe have spots of brown,
And do zebra’s stripes go up, or down?
The wonder and variety of zoo animals is explored in this
book, which is as full of questions as Kipling’s Elephant’s
Child. From an elephant to a peacock, a rhinoceros to a
flamingo, an inquisitive child and his grandfather visit and
ponder each animal.
‘An outing as ordinary as a visit to the zoo is an imaginative adventure for grandfather and grandchild in this
whimsical picture book. The playful, slightly offbeat rhyme complements Grandpa’s quirky questions. […] This simple
but delightful book will affirm and inspire curious young readers who prefer to imagine a more light-hearted world
than the one we really live in.’

‘The child radiates a smiling self-confidence in van Hout’s cartoon art, which reflects the narrative’s breezy tone, and while the clumsy, blustering Bad Guy—endowed with both a ferocious scowl and a fuzzy plush bunny—comes across
as far more comical than threatening…’- Kirkus Reviews
‘A visually enticing story ... Full of fun.’- Publishers Weekly

The Child Cruncher
‘Got you!’ growled a harsh voice. ‘You’re
coming with me!’
But I said, ‘One moment, please. I have to ask
my dad first. ...Dad! I’m being kidnapped by a
big, ugly villain. Is that all right?’
‘Oh, that’s fine,’ Dad replied. ‘Just remember
to brush your teeth. Have fun.’
One summer evening, Molly is so bored that she dreams
up an adventure with a fierce villain. But if her dream
comes true – and she is kidnapped by an ogre – life is not
as exciting as Molly had hoped. She even has to rescue her
clumsy captor!
And then her big ugly villain turns out to be an ordinary
child cruncher. What a disappointment! Instead of going
on all sorts of adventures, he only wants to eat her up.
Luckily Molly knows just what to do...
MATHILDE STEIN (1969) was born and raised in the Nether-
lands and studied at the Bordeaux School of Fine Arts. After
living in France for ten years, she moved to the United King-
dom where she worked as Course Director and Senior Lecturer
in Event Management at the University of Central England
before returning to the Netherlands.

MIES VAN HOUT (1962) studied at the Arts Academy in Gro-
ningen where she majored in graphic design. She has been
working as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer since
1989. Her illustrations are cheerful and witty, skilfully painted
and distinctive. Mies van Hout’s work has been published in
more than twenty countries.

Ronald Tolman & Marije Tolman
The Island
The award-winning father & daughter team, Marije and
Ronald Tolman, conquered the world with their fairy-tale
like pictures of The Tree House. Now, this golden team
again creates a world without words with a polar bear’s
dreamy journey along awe-inspiring islands and colourful
animal friends.
RONALD TOLMAN (1948) is a sculptor, painter and graphic
artist (a favourite of the former Dutch Queen Beatrix).
His sculptures and the visualisations in his paintings,
etchings, drawings and ceramics alternate between wistful
observations and sparkling impulsiveness.

MARIJE TOLMAN (1976) graduated in Graphic and Typo-
graphic Design at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague.
She studied Illustration and design at the Edinburgh College
of Art in Scotland. Now she lives and works in The Hague as a

Sanne te Loo
This Is Yours
Of all things imaginable, I liked drawing the most.
However, a sheet of paper was way too small for me.
And in the streets, people would walk over my
drawings.
One day – when it is raining so hard that the drawings are
washed from the sidewalk – a man walks by. He is An-
selmo, an old painter. He offers the young artist shelter in
his house. Anselmo comes from a parrot island and makes
enchanting paintings. Between Anselmo and the young
artist a very special friendship blossoms… until the day
Anselmo decides to return to his island.
For a moment, a dream seems to fall apart. But Anselmo
has taken care of the young artist’s future! Sanne te Loo
made a moving tribute to people who value children.
This is Yours won the Dutch Silver Brush Award: ‘The jury considered This Is Yours an ode to fantasy and
imagination: learning to draw and – even more – learning to watch. In diverse, sometimes melancholic pictures, new worlds are created. The world of imagination is an oasis in
the city.’
SANNE TE LOO (1972) studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in
Breda, and has been working as an illustrator since gradua-
tion. She is known for her dreamy illustrations as featured in
her own picture book Pearl’s Mermaid Shoes.

Ingrid & Dieter Schubert
Opposites
From the first moment of seeing the terrier in The
Umbrella, it was clear that the Schuberts have a knack for
capturing expressive animals. In Opposites, the Schuberts
have a blast as they present contrasts far beyond big and
small. Best of all, the Schuberts let their imaginations fly
as high as a crocodile – or perhaps flying crocodiles only
occur in Schubert books? A multitude of details will en-
sure requests for repeat readings.
‘… a marvellous treat for the senses; masterful drafting and splendid colour make every spread worth lingering over.’
- Publishers Weekly
‘The paintings excel at showing the different landscapes and depicting movement. What a great journey!’
- School Library Journal
A USBBY Outstanding International Book for Young People
INGRID (1953) and DIETER (1947) SCHUBERT were born in
Germany. After the Academy of Design in Münster and the
Academy of Art in Düsseldorf, they attended the Gerrit Riet-
veld Academy in Amsterdam. Their books for children are
available in 21 languages and their work has been exhibited
all over the world.
