Team Lou #12

Issue #12 of Sylvia Tops' charming Dutch series brings "Het muzikale avontuur" (The Musical Adventure) to life with a cover bursting with energy — a lively stage performance by a band called The New Blabbers draws a crowd of enthusiastic young characters, a friendly beagle included, all set against a colorful outdoor backdrop. The mix of performers dancing on stage and delighted onlookers in the foreground captures exactly the kind of fun, feel-good spirit that makes Team Lou such an appealing series for younger readers. A warm and inviting entry in this 2017 Bonte publication.
