Productdetails

Kartonnen boekuitgave van dit bestseller-verhaal over zelfvertrouwen, eigenwaarde en een verlegen muisje dat op pad gaat om zijn brul te vinden. Op een droge, stoffige plek waar het zand goud schitterde, stond een machtige platte rots, oud en knoestig. En onder die rots in een piepklein huisje, leefde de allerkleinste, stilste, zachtmoedigste bruine muis. Het zat hem dwars dat de andere dieren hem negeerden — Muis wenst dat hij kon brullen zoals Leeuw. Maar zoals hij ontdekt, zijn zelfs de grootste, dominantste figuren soms bang.
