Ze zijn een beetje raar, maar ook wel weer heel leuk! Ontdek het zelf in dit prachtige verhaal. Some questions and comments come up in conversations every day. If you're tired of using the same old responses… I have to say that I am kind of agreeing with The Creakers. Yes, they did things the wrong way and they were creepy/scary, but they had their reasons. If only that had found another way to communicate and let the humans know about that. Ask your remote team members to grab a nearby item (or even send a personal picture through group chat!).

I did laugh out loud when two kids named Buzz and Buddy had taken their dad's car out for a drive (if you didn't know, Buzz and Buddy are Tom Fletcher's kids... and now you know what he suspects they would do if him and his wife ever disappeared) - and you'll also, briefly, meet the kids from The Christmasaurus, so the stories seem to be set in the same universe. Sort of.Best For: Promoting cultural awareness, fostering deeper connections, broadening perspectives, and keeping meetings engaging.
