De Neehoorn

De Neehoorn is an irresistibly funny and relatable picture book by bestselling author Marc-Uwe Kling. In the Heerlijke Hartenwoud, a small, cuddly unicorn is born who doesn't live up to the sweet, well-behaved unicorn ideal at all. You see, he says NO (NEE) to everything. And that's how he gets his name: the NEEhoorn.

Despite all the well-meant attempts to make him sweet as can be, the NEEhoorn stubbornly stays himself. One day he decides to leave the Hartenwoud. Along the way he meets a headstrong raccoon who won't listen, a dog who really doesn't like anything and a princess who disagrees with absolutely everything. Together they discover that being grumpy can sometimes bring you closer together, because being grumpy together is much more fun than being grumpy alone.

With its humor, clever wordplay and colorful illustrations, De Neehoorn is a big favorite with children and adults alike. The book invites reading aloud, laughing together and talking about feelings, setting boundaries and being allowed to be yourself.

A perfect children's book for home, school and childcare.
