Before the World Wide Web existed, The Netherlands already had world famous writers and artists, think of Jean Dulieu met Paulus de Boskabouter, Dick Bruna with Miffy and the golden duo Annie M. G. Schmidt and Fiep Westendorp who together created Jip and Janneke. We can safely say that they were the best Dutch childrens authors and illustrators ever.
Today we are reading Jip & Janneke. Jip and Janneke will never become boring, we read the books out-loud again & again. All the mini-monsters love Jip & Janneke. Eh, all? Well, almost all then :D
In Zomer met Jip and Janneke you find a collection of Jip and Janneke stories, with coloured illustrations that are all about Summer. They are the well-known stories, which are in the large Jip en Janneke collection book too, but the stories are split out into the seasons. The 4 books are sold seperately but in a year round bundle with all four seasons too, which is also translated into English.
Summer with Jip en Janneke earns 3 forever shining stars, from the mini and the maxi readers!
