Princess Eleonora

Welcome to the cozy and rather pink universe of princess Eleonora. Together with the king and lots of servants, this bright littleprincess has many adventures. A little stubbornly, Nora skips happily through these 18 stories while the other characters desperately try to catch up.Lemonade, cuddly toys, carriages and especially a lot of mud are extremely important in the princess’s life. Servant number one, servant number two, Cook and the biscuit maker are, in fact, big children themselves and this makes for hilarious situations.

After a formal meeting with Nora, Marieke van Hooff decided that music was necessary in order to make every single story that little bit pinker. So she wrote one song for every story. Nora wanted to sing them herself, which meant that servant number one, servant number two, Cook and the biscuit maker wanted to be on the CD too. Please accept our sincere apologies for that!

How much fun!’ Bifidus danced up and down delighted. ‘Tell me. I love to play games. How does it go? Do we hold a best hair contest or do we comb each other’s hair?’

Ludovic, 16, is crazy about music, in his opinion the most beautiful shape sound can take. But at the same time he gets annoyed with all the excess noise and amount of decibel around him. When his hearing is damaged after a night out, he takes action. With fake e-mails, flyers and technological gimmicks he starts a one-man-war against the dicatorship of the decibel. A war that goes further and further. Too far.

The cello of Mrs Rozas

Orfeo, a dreamy boy, goes through difficult times. His father has left, his mother grieves and at school he is bullied. He flees into a world of sounds, and makes a list of his favorite ones. One day, he meets the old and eccentric Mrs Rozas. The sound of her cello fascinates Orfeo. He’s absolutely thrilled when Mrs Rozas offers him cello lessons, for free. But why doesn’t Mrs Rozas play the instrument herself anymore? Why doesn’t she like to talk about the past? Only after her death, Orfeo discovers the secret of Mrs Rozas and her cello.

Piet De Loof is both journalist and writer. His books revolve around music, senses and discovering oneself. The critical acclaim for ‘Cello’ earned Piet a special grant from the Flemish Litterary Fund.

Wow!

A long time ago, when no-one had computers and when telephones were still attached to long cords, people used to take the cable car to the wonderful waterfall of Wow! It was a once-in-a-lifetime trip. All the won-derful creatures, trees and flowers had to be seen to be believed! But little by little things began to change. It grew warmer, the waterfall shrank to a trickle and the cable car was closed. Until a clever monkey came up with a brilliant plan and breathed new life into Wow. This is the story of how global warming became global charming.

Lily and Lardo: The cigar box race

There is a lot of activity at the rubbish dump behind the barn of farmer Loopy. All the animals are building race cars for the cigar box race that takes place tomorrow. Lily and Lardo join in the fun! But the next morning, they find that somebody has deliberately broken their cigar box car. But this will not stop the two friends competing!

Lily and Lardo: The Rat’s Masquerade Ball

Lardo and his family are holding their annual Masquerade Ball. It is always lots of fun. There is a free podium, where everyone can show their tricks. Lardo and his cousin are joining the competition. Lily isn’t. Her Mum and Dad feel she is much to young to be attending a masquerade ball. But then Lardo has a problem: his cousin has caught the flu. So Lily will have to perform in her place...

Lily and Lardo are now available for older readers!New volumes for this series are coming soon.

Inspired by his trip to China,Marc wrote Chinese mooncakes.

Coming soon!

Lily and Lardo: The rocket croquette

Mum and Dad do not want Lily to see Lardo. House mice don’t play outside, and certainly never with rats. But Lily doesn’t let that worry her. On the contrary she thinks Lardo’s fantastic. And outside are a thousand fun things to do, even for a house mouse. The rubbish dump is full of things to play with. A whole croquette, for example...

Lily and Lardo: Lardo PiRAT’s treasure

After flying the rocket croquette, Lily has developed a taste for adventure. She dreams about sailing in a boat she wants to build with her best friend Lardo.One afternoon, lily’s parents attend an emergency meeting with the others animals living in the forest. This is the ideal moment for Lily and Lardo to carry out their plan of building a boat and testing it. And it works! It is the start for another big adventure…

Lily and Lardo: Choco and Lala

Mum has made some chocolate biscuits. Lily is going to take a few to grandma. Her friend Lardo is going with her. But during the night, there had been a terrible storm.The bridge over the brook has been battered down by the wind. What should they do? Lily and Lardo want to swim across the brook. But because of the strong current they go head-under! Before they know it they find themselves hanging high in the air, in a butterfly net! Some time later, they find they are trapped in an old biscuit box. From that moment on the two friends experience an exciting, chocolate-brown adventure!

A book about chocolate, made together with two famous Belgian chocolate makers.

At the back of each book, you’ll find a few informative pages, teaching the child a bit about for example the history of aviation (in The rocket croquette) or the history of shipping (in Lardo PiRAT’s treasure)


Also available:Saint Lardo and Black Lil

A series on 3 immensely popular characters by one of our most successful children’s authors. The sisters Lucy, Sally and Fanny Prickle are 3 of the most naughty children alive.

Creeple, the minisaur

Lucy, Sally and Fanny Prickle are staying at their auntie Betty’s house. They go on patrol with their uncle Bob, the cop. Before they know it, they end up in the Tropical Disease Research Centre, where they discover a real minisaur. A short visit with small consequences, that will soon become bigger - and we mean this litteraly! Join the sisters and their new pet in another rollercoaster adventure.


The Prickle SiSTerS

The Miss Creepy contest

Fanny discovers a mysterious box containing an even more mysterious book with explicit instructions NOT TO READ THIS BOOK, which, of course she completely ignores. This is the start of a delightfully funny adventure.

Strawbees and whipped cream

The summer holidays have started, but the Prickle sisters are the only ones in their class who are not going on an exotic trip. It will be two boring months! This changes when they get a house sitting job.

Little devils in the library

Lucy, Sally and Fanny Prickle don’t like to read. They prefer having their own adventures! Even the Big Come-as-a-Monster Costume Party at the city library, complete with a sleepover in the library itself, does not convince them. Until they discover there’s spaghetti and pancakes.






Themepark Biebaloeba

Lucy, Sally and Fanny go on a weekend camp with the Scouts.Soon they get in trouble with Kenny Quiff, a genuine cock of the walk, and his two friends, but they also become close buddies with Freak, a very bright boy. During their visit to the Theme Park Bebopalula they get deeply upset after seeing the sad performance of Cowboy Congo, the chimpanzee. It does not take long before both the sparks and the apes are flying…

The Boeboeks are goofy little creatures who live in Wawawood, under a tree near a garbage dump. These strange little critters can be a little obnoxious sometimes, but they protect nature by all means! Boeboeks are found all over the world. They all look the same, but there are differences too. The closer they live to the Equator, the darker and the more exotic they are. They have great senses too, especially smelling.In addition they all share the “simpal” feeling: the feeling they have when a relative of theirs is very happy, in pain, or very sad, even when they are far away. Boeboeks love their food. They are crazy about healthy and organic sweets. And Boeboeks also adore mischief, singing and dancing, hugging, and giving people a fright (“haboe !”).

The  seemingly  simple,  funny  stories  of  the  Boeboeks  always contain  the  underlying  message  of  taking  care  of  our environment. The ecological  layer  is given a  fresh, gullible dimension through the funny characters and their pranks, but  is  always  distinguishable.  The  ideal  way  to  make ecology an easier topic to talk and brainstorm about, and also act on it. The characters of the Boeboeks are perfect to use as ambassadors for an ecology programme at school, in  youth  movements,  during  summer  camp,...  You  can implement  the B-philosophy, which  is  in short  ‘Boeboeks are green and help plants, animals and children to grow’, to stimulate any kind of green project!
