In 2013 Vasco het Voetbalvarkentje was published, a book by Dutch author Edward van de Vendel and Belgian illustrator Alain Verster. What a great book it is! The funny story about friendship and football, together with the brilliant illustrations make this book unique.
Any boy or girl who loves football and his or her pet, will adore this picturebook as a gift. The book is beautifully written, has a surprising and very funny story and the original illustrations make it complete. This book is one to love, the young mini-monster think and we do too.
Also great is that this book has been nominated in Belgium for The Boekenpauw of 2014, an important award. We now know that Vasco het Voetbalvarkentje unfortunatly has not won the Pauw. But to us they are winners anyway, with such a very special book!
3 sparkling stars for Vasco het voetbalvarkentje (Vasco, the Soccer Pig), from the mini monsters and their readers!
