Ozzie and Tonk is a fun story about two children who go on a trip and it is written by Dutch Children's author Marte Jongbloed. Do take a look on het website because she also writes the most beautiful serious books for kids.
Ozzie and Tonk are best friends and today they go sailing on a ship that's called Traumboot (German for Dream Boat), over the Moselle River in Germany. There are a lot of elderly people going on board so will this trip be boring for the kids? No, absolutly not! Because very strange things are happening there in the night, and especially Ozzie and not so much Tonk want to find out more about it!
Dutch Illustrator Hélène Jorna created the cheerful coloured illustrations for the story and it turned out to be a really fun book. After reading it, our little monsters wanted to know all about sailing in Germany and then hop off the boat to explore all sorts of charming places. They didn't think this is boring at all; it will be actually really great fun, mystery or not! :)))
