Urbanus vertelt #27

The twenty-seventh volume in the beloved Mieleke Melleke Mol series finds the little mole causing cheerful mayhem, as suggested by the cover's lively scene: a yellow excavator rumbles in the foreground while tiny figures tumble through a blue sky above mushroom-topped trees, and the two young children at center look on with wide-eyed curiosity. Urbanus and Dirk Stallaert bring their signature bright, rounded style to "Mol de Losbol," promising the kind of warm, energetic slapstick that has made this Flemish series a perennial favorite. A delightful 2018 addition to the long-running run from Standaard Uitgeverij.
