Kereltje Kareltje wordt beroemd

Kereltje Kareltje #3

by Tosca Menten, Jeska Verstegen (Illustrator)

Het is feest in het dorp. Kareltje en Sas doen aan alles mee: straattekenen, de rommelmarkt, de watermiddag en nog veel meer. Aan het eind van de feestweek is er een talentenjacht. De hoofdprijs is een rondrit in een grote dure auto! Natuurlijk wil Kareltje die winnen. Maar hij kan niet zo mooi zingen... En een muziekinstrument heeft hij ook niet... Daarom verzint hij een plan. Want hij wil dolgraag beroemd worden!

About the author

Dutch writer of Children's books. As a child, Tosca wanted to be a doctor and play the piano, but instead she went to the Arts Academy in Amsterdam. She became a teacher of Art and History of Art at a high school in Amsterdam. She remained a teacher for 13 years and started a family. She has 3 children: two girls and one boy.

Then she decided to become a writer. Not surprising, because ever since she was little she has been writing stories. She wanted to publish a book before 2000 and only just succeeded in 1999.

She became a known writer with her books about Dummie the Mummie which have been translated in many languages. Nowadays she tries to write two books a year. Furthermore, she visits many schools and libraries. Now and then she has a theatre show with songs of her own.
