Spoilerfree Review
This book was written especially for Children's bookweek, loosely inspired by this year's theme about visual arts. To my surprise it's part of a series; I thought authors had to write an original story when they were given the honour of this job. Oh well, at least Mees Kees has the kids in his class drawing images, so it fits the theme. But the maincharacter in this story is Tobias, who struggles with not getting enough attention at home. Mees Kees deals with this very subtly and manages to make Tobias open up. There is no clear ending or solution, I guess I have to buy the next book in the series to find out what happens. I won't. I liked the book, but I'm a little too old for this (yes, that's possible;).
