een slijmzoen voor je oma

In the Zilveren Griffel award-winning children's book 'Een slijmzoen voor je oma' by Matthijs Meeuwsen, you'll meet the cookiecutter shark, the Christmas tree worm, the hooded seal, and many other cool sea creatures that nobody knows. Have you ever heard of these extraordinary animals? It is informative, surprising, and hilarious!

Scientists estimate that nine out of ten sea creatures are still waiting to be discovered. And the animals we do know, we often try to forget as quickly as possible. Because they aren't plush enough. Too slimy. Often ugly, too. That is why hardly anyone knows about the hooded seal, the parasitic barnacle, or the cookiecutter shark. What a shame! Man, you should see what those creatures can do.

From the 2024 Griffels en Penselen Jury Report:
"Just like the ocean, this book buzzes with life. Humorous and witty comparisons make the book a joy to read and learn from. Paco Vink's illustrations literally and figuratively add more color to the stories. The jury was pleasantly surprised by this debut and praises this book full of fun facts you didn't even know you were interested in. The world of the deep sea has never been this fun."
