Virgilius van Tuil by Paul Biegel. In this thick book, ideal for reading aloud, you'll find the adventures of Virgilius van Tuil; the dwarf who loves to explore, away from the moor where the other 100 dwarfs live. He often ends up with humans, where Virgilius is sometimes trapped in an aquarium, but also where he makes friends, both big and small.
The adventures of the curious Virgilius are heartwarming. This makes Paul Biegel's children's classic a delightful book to read aloud – or, of course, to read yourself. The illustrations in this beautiful hardcover edition are by Mies van Hout.
