Urbanus vertelt #21

The twenty-first volume in the beloved Belgian "Mieleke Melleke Mol" series brings another wildly fun adventure from Urbanus and Dirk Stallaert, this time subtitled De Toverstrikjes — "The Magic Bow Ties." The cover says it all: two wide-eyed children sprint in sheer panic away from an enormous, roaring mud creature with gaping jaws, while a fairy-tale castle perches dramatically on a hilltop in the background. It's the kind of gloriously chaotic, cartoon energy that has made this Standaard Uitgeverij series such a treat for younger readers and their parents alike.
