De Koning bakt een huis

For King's Day we read to our little ones an old but very sweet Children's Book Week picture book, which has been on the shelf for years. The book is called The King Bakes a House and it is written and illustrated by Annemarie van Haeringen.

 

The story is about King Elephant and Bare Toad and it is a very special story! Long ago, all animals spoke with each other and were good friends.But there was 1 animal in King Elephant's kingdom that was never there, when all the animals came together, Who was that one animal? It was Bare Toad.

 

 

Nude Toad preferred to stay in his own house, warm and cozy he was always busy with pottery baking, his hobby. Until King Elephant thought: Everyone needs friends to have fun together, including Nude Toad! So he came up with a very clever plan to get Nude Toad out of his home. Did King Elephant's plan work? Duh!
