The Large, Cheerful Stuttering Book (Het Grote Vrolijke Stotterboek) is full of funny facts and stories about stuttering. Why, for example, is being able to pronounce the sentence 'Can I have the chocolate sprinkles?' such a wonder of the world? There are interviews with well-known Dutch people who stutter, and answers to the Frequently Asked Questions, or in other words: the V-V Questions. Of course, there's also the Big Serious Stuttering Chapter, and a convincing argument about how stuttering is incredibly annoying – but sometimes quite useful.

A cheerful, amply illustrated non-fiction book for children from group 6 to group 8. For children who stutter, their classmates, friends and family members, but also for everyone who simply likes jokes, cartoons, special facts and clear explanations.
