Dragons Are Not For Sale Tjibbe Veldkamp & Alice Hoogstad

Ezzy loves animals. The boy next door Preston however, keeps all sorts of animals, but he doesn’t really care for them. Ezzy wants to help the animals and comes up with a plan. A plan that involves a very special egg...

Back at home, Ezzy got out his Almanac of All Animals and looked under the letter D. Then he put on a warm sweater, strapped on his Lemniscaat largest backpack and started climbing the bare mountain.

Three days passed.

When Ezzy descended from the bare mountain he was no longer wearing his sweater and his backpack was bursting at the seams.

What is Ezzy carrying with him? What is he up to?

Tjibbe Veldkamp tells the comical story of Ezzy and the spoiled boy next door, Preston. Preston keeps all sorts of animals, but he doesn’t really care for them. Ezzy loves animals, but Preston won’t let him near them.

But Ezzy’s got a plan!

With glorious illustrations, Golden Paintbrush-winner Alice Hoogstad paints the story of Ezzy and his egg. A book to be devoured by anyone who loves Tjibbe Veldkamp, Alice Hoogstad, animals and dragons. And who feels that spoiled little brats should be taught a lesson they won’t forget in a hurry…

A boy keeps outsmarting the parent who wants to finish the story. But in the end, the parent doesn’t want to stop narrating either.

This picture book is not just for reading It is also a wonderful read-together book: the interaction between the hurried adult and the child, who pushes him to continue storytelling, will bring much joy.

Kees de Boer brings a boy’s fantasy to life in a fun and unique way: monsters, soldiers, more monsters…
