The Wibbly-Wobbly Weasels Party

There is a reason to party every day

Most people only celebrate their birthday or religious holidays . Not these wibbly-wobbly weasels. They show there’s so much more to celebrate throughout the year! Friends Arti and Bub spend day after day jumping from party to party: starting the new year with a splash, chasing away their winter blues with a go-away-winter-party or organising a harvest festival when fresh strawberries are ready for picking. But even when they’re too tired and decide to do nothing, they celebrate their lazy-lie-in-day. Basically, there’s always a reason to party. In eighteen short stories, each one as entertaining as the next, Yvonne Jagtenberg shows how Arti and Bub celebrate life.

The Wibbly-Wobbly Weasels Party is the third book by two-time Gouden Penseel (best-illustrated children’s book) winner Yvonne Jagtenberg about the pair of friends, Arti and Bub, the main characters  of the series. The first two are entitled The Wibbly-Wobbly Weasels and The Wibbly-Wobbly Weasels’ Road Trip). Arti is always in a muddle and Bub is always rough-and-tumble. Their dialogues and squabbling about everyday things are enriched by comical illustrations of the weasels. The pictures are absolutely fabulous and a reason in themselves to take the book to heart.

  • The third book about the wibbly-wobbly weasels. 

  • Eighteen short stories

  • Also ideal for children who are beginning to read independently

The wibbly-wobbly weasels capture the spirit of the great Toon Tellegen, but are more down-to-earth, they remind you of Sesame Street’s Bert and Ernie
