‘Because I need them,’ says Sheep.‘When children go to sleep, they count me a hundred times.Every time they think of me while counting, I leap over a fence.’
‘You need solid, sturdy shoes then, so you can jump a lot?’ asks Mole.‘Exactly!’ says Sheep.

Eleven grandmothers and grandfathers… I thought that was quite enough. At school we’re learning about family trees. And that requires the filling out of forms. I need more, I told my teacher. A whole pile! If I lay them all out next to each other, I’ll have a forest. Then I can swing from tree to tree, like a monkey.

Joe runs into the kitchen. “Mum! An egg!” He lifts up the egg. Just feel it. It is still warm! “Didn’t I say so?” Dad laughs. “That the chicken would lay an egg.” Mum picks up the egg. “So she has!” she says. “Mmm, I will boil it now. And then I will tap the top and cut it off. Delicious!”
She turns the egg over in her hand. Then she looks at Joe. “What are those numbers doing there?” Joe goes red. “What?” he asks. But he can already see it. There is a stamp on the egg. “Nice one Joe”, Dad says. “Did you do that? With your stamp set”? Joe hears Mum laugh. “Haha. You’re a right one.” She puts him on her lap. “You nearly
had me there. With your warm egg…” “Does Chicken have to go in the pot now?” Joe asks. “Now it’s not her egg?” “We’ll see,” Mum says.
Evelien De Vlieger writes in a unique and remarkably fluent style. Whether she is writing for teenagers, in-betweeners or young children, it is always exactly right. She delights in playing with false expectations and ingenious links. – De Morgen on Joe and the pigeon
