“Pappa!” roep Johannes. “Pappa, kyk net!”. “Stil!” roep meneer Blom. “Ek kry nie gewerk nie!”. “Maar jy moet kyk, Pappa,” se Nella Della. Sy hou haar hand ’n bietjie stywer om die mannetjie sodat hy nie kan ontsnap nie. Meneer Blom kyk. “Wat is dit?” vra hy effens knorrig, asof hy vies is dat hulle hom oor so ’n kleinigheid pla. “Is dit ’n kabouter? Kabouters bestaan nie. Dit is dus onmoontlik. Los my nou dat ek kan werk.” ’n Kabouter is dit nie, maar ’n wiplala met die naam Wiplala. En Wiplala kan toor, of soos hy dit noem ‘tinkel’. Die enigste probleem is dat Wiplala dit soms regkry om te tinkel en soms nie. Wanneer hy die Blom-gesin net so klein maak soos hy, is dit die begin van ’n opwindende avontuur. Die Bloms wonder egter of hulle ooit weer normale mense sal word!. Wiplala verskyn oorspronklik in 1957 in Nederlands. Dit is uit die pen van die bekende Nederlandse kinderboekskrywer Annie M.G. Schmidt. Die boek word in verskeie tale vertaal (onder meer Duits, Fins, Engels en selfs Japannees). In 2014 verskyn daar ook ’n film wat gebaseer is op die boek.

Die storie van Gulliver se reise is vir Lillie betowerend – letterlik! Lillie is absoluut gek oor die boek en wonder hoe dit moet voel om ’n reus te wees in ’n land waar die mense skaars groter is as jou duim. Maar hoe kom sy daar? Toe haar klein pes van ’n boetie, Leon, haar kom pla met ’n probleem, gee hy onwetend vir haar die antwoord! Haar eerste probeerslag loop egter skeef, en so amper word sy die prooi van die buurvrou se kat. Wanneer haar toordery wel ’n tweede keer slaag, kry sy nie met ’n kat te doen nie, maar met ’n veel gevaarliker vyand wat die Lilliputters se lewens daagliks bedreig. Sal sy daarin slaag om hulle te help?
