Bob Popcorn (6+) - Tiger Reading

One day, when Ellis makes popcorn in the microwave, something strange happens. One of the kernels doesn't pop, but swells until it is as big as a kiwi. Two little arms and two little legs pop out. Ellis stares at the kernel, which now has a face and is glaring back at him angrily…

The little corn man is called Bob, and he is no easy character. He doesn't sleep, eats an unbelievable amount, and is quite moody. After a while, Ellis has had enough. Bob has to go, but where do you put a giant, living popcorn with a temper?

A funny and imaginative story for slightly more experienced readers, with lots of illustrations. Maranke Rinck and Martijn van der Linden created several picture books together, including Tangramkat (awarded the Golden Brush and a Silver Griffel).
