The sheep Aldewinde, Wien, Wentel, and Poms want to go to the party behind the hill with their friends, the four rams Sietse, Fox, Benk, and Bertomé. Beforehand, they enjoy a little sparkling lemonade at home.
Full of good cheer, they set off for the party hut. But along the way, their joy is cruelly interrupted: a pack of creepy creatures lurks behind the bushes, growling at them. The dark creatures emerge ferociously and with a lot of stamping. They charge straight at the rams and the sheep.
Four sheep and three rams dive into the cornfield at lightning speed. But Benk doesn't. He stays on the path, face to face with the terrifying creatures.
The friends are afraid that Benk will be devoured before their very eyes.
They can't stand to watch and head straight home.
What happens to Benk?
Will the others ever see him again?
And will they ever dare to go to a party again?
Or will the scary figures always know where to find them from now on?

Lenneke lives in two worlds: the world she experiences with her senses, and the world she experiences by stretching them. Within them, she can make anything happen. She mixes countries with scents, sadness with happiness, people with turtles, trees with dreams. This is how her stories come into being.
Judith is adept at delving into the underlying desires of the author and the story. With great ease, she conjures illustrations with her brushes that always connect with a word or a sentence.
ProBeeld (Ton de Koning) is responsible for the cover design.
