From Queens day to tulip fields - countless traditions and attractions in the Netherlands are shown.

In this humorous storybook, Sheep and Goat bleat in their meadow all day long. Marleen Westera records these wooly quadrupeds' heated discussions about everything from earthly affairs to Goat's birthday and Sheep's family.

The mouse has a favorite recipe. When a mouse is feeling blue, there is only one thing that can help perk him up—a big bowl of elephant soup. He doesn’t need much to make the soup—vegetables, salt and pepper, and an enormous pot—big enough to fit an elephant. The mouse can’t make the soup by himself. After all, he needs to capture an elephant. With the help of his friends, he manages to get an elephant in the pot. What happens next is not what the mouse and his friends expected. Here is the latest picture book from the imaginations of Ingrid and Dieter Schubert. With lively illustrations and a text that conveys an absurd sense of humor, this picture book is the perfect recipe for laughter.

The shimmering watercolors bring to life the enchantingly oddball characters the monkey encounters. These include a mouse colony that uses the monkey's underwear to swing through their house in the bottom of a tree; a hedgehog family that falls asleep with him; and the magpie that steals the monkey away to its nest.
