An established children’s author who has been writing books since the mid-eighties. He has been published by Andersen Press, O.U.P, Little Tiger Press, Franklin Watts, Q.E.D and many other big publishing houses. Up to now he has written 43 books which have sold worldwide with over 25 translations. Some of his work has been adapted for radio, television and theatre. Merel Eyckerman has illustrated picture books, primary readers and magazines since 2003. Apart from Belgium and The Netherlands her work is published in many countries, including China, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, France and the United States. Her work exudes atmosphere and is recognizable in elegance and great precision, in a muted-colour palette.

What I really liked about this book is that I think it is something that many children can relate to — being afraid of something that really is not there. The wonderful illustrations are an added bonus to this cute story. The size and vivid colors of the creatures really help show how the little boy’s imagination was creating more than what was really there. - Youth Services Book Review
