Omschrijving
Super Guppy is a collection of fifty-one wonderful, multifaceted poems for children of six years and up. Van de Vendel stays close to home: splashing through puddles and getting your socks wet, being tucked in at night by Mum, and having a plaster on your knee - ow! - taken off.
Edward van de Vendel was born in Leerdam, The Netherlands (1964). He taught in primary schools before becoming a full-time writer in 2001. He writes novels for children and young adults, poetry, picturebooks, non-fiction and songlyrics, which are published at Querido’s publishing house (Holland) and De Eenhoorn (Belgium).
