In this blog, we’ll share some book tips that are perfect for reading aloud or for your babysitting children to read themselves!

 

Baby sees… Picture book with mirror 🪞
(0-6 months)

The Baby sees… series has become a bit of a classic. The principle is simple: simple patterns in black and white, here and there supplemented with a bright color. Completely adapted to the perception of babies. This book contains drawings and patterns that stimulate the brain and visual perception for the youngest! And as the icing on the cake, there is a mirror at the back of the book!

 

Fatty Dap 🦒
(2-6 years)

Early in the morning at a quarter past seven, Dikkertje Dap enters the zoo. With a kick, because he is going to feed the giraffe a sugar cube. The giraffe turns out to be incredibly nice. He listens to all the stories of Dikkertje Dap and then Dikkertje is allowed to slide down that veeery long neck. A real classic!

 

The Safari 🐶
(To read aloud from 4 and read independently from 7)

After the huge success of The Magical Collar, The Time Machine and The Amusement Park, the adventures of Rutger, Thomas & Paco continue with a new adventure; The Safari

Rutger, Thomas and Paco travel to the Professnor on a tropical island in the hope that he can repair Paco's collar. Once there, they and their friend Kat get involved in an exciting adventure. They go on safari to unravel the mystery of Captain Praatgraag. Deep in the jungle they end up in the most dangerous situations. Will they manage to get back safely? And will they get Paco's collar working again?

 

The sweet sisters are the boss 👧🏼👧🏽
(To read aloud from 4 and read independently from 7)

In 'The Sweet Sisters are the Boss', written by Hanneke de Zoete, the Sweet Sisters Saar and Janna are going to protest. Because adults always say no, and they boss children around. But why? Children can also be the boss! So the Sweet Sisters organize the best day of the year: yes-day, on which children are the boss for one day. They decide everything. And so only fun things happen on yes-day: from a cookie breakfast to stamping in puddles, dyeing your hair pink and eating out in your pyjamas. A wonderful book to read to children aged 4 and up or for children aged 7 and up who want to read for themselves.

 

Miss Vomit and the Mysterious Plan 👩🏼‍🏫
(From 9 years)

When Ms. Braaksel returns from her 'sweetest teacher in the country' tour, no one is happy. Group 7 is in shock when Braaksel tells them that Ms. Evi has handed in her resignation. That can't be right?! Ms. Evi protests and says that she didn't write the letter, but Braaksel doesn't want to know anything about it. Lucas, Thijs, Milou and Lotte believe their sweet Ms. Evi of course. But they need proof. During their investigation, they discover that Ms. Evi's resignation is part of a new, evil plan by Braaksel and her friends Greta and Alie... Help! How will this end?
