Dikkie Dik is a Dutch series of children's picture books, starring the eponymous orange tomcat Dikkie Dik. The books are drawn by author Jet Boeke, and feature short, concise texts by Arthur van Norden. The series started in 1978 as part of the Dutch version of the children's TV show Sesame Street, but soon the stories appeared in bookstores.
On Sesame Street the stories were read aloud by Piet Hendriks, with recurring characters like Tommie, Pino or Troel listening. In the early 1980s the stories in Sesame Street were told by Rudy Kuhn, with some children as an audience, and in 1985 Frank Groothof took over.
In 2000 Boeke received the Kiekeboekprijs for her book Waar is Dikkie Dik?, as the best book for toddlers of the year.
In 2024 Joost Van Den Bosch directed a movie called Dikkie Dik en de Verdwenen Knuffel: (Tummy Tom and the Lost Teddy Bear)
In the movie Tummy Tom and the Lost Teddy Bear: Tummy Tom discovers something shocking: Bear, his favorite cuddle toy, is missing and nowhere to be found. Luckily, his friend Cat Mouse is there to help, because Tummy Tom can't sleep without Bear.

Satire


The theatershow Sex of the Dutch theater group De Vliegende Panters contains a persiflage on Dikkie Dik (in fact it's a parody of the narrator of Surinamese origin Rudy Kuhn, who read in the program Sesame Street from Dikkie Dik in the eighties), in which he stole a car radio and put a shot. The theatershow Sex was performed in 1996. At that time Rudy Kuhn hadn't been on Sesame Street for 10 years.
