De restjes van de zon

There is a good reason why snazzie's aloud readers love reading Edward van de Vendel's books  so much. Just read *De restjes van de zon* (The remnants of the sun - sadly only in Dutch) yourself, it's the picture book featured on our blog today. We are almost certain you find the Silver Stylus —although a beautiful award—still undervalued, just like us!

The story is original and funny, and the animals are so sweet and cute! Moreover, the artwork by Dutch illustrator Jet Parent is truly beautiful. For us, her wonderful illustrations certainly play a major role in the success of this book.

Finally, it is our little listeners' turn. What do they actually think of it? They also find the book very beautiful and funny. At first, they are a little sad for the animals; imagine living in the forest, with such bad weather!

But when Mouse and Squirrel set off together, things change and get funny. The loud Mouse and quiet Squirrel make a good team. That the sun itself eventually thinks it's good fun too, and a wonderful solution—who would have thought? Well, Edward van de Vendel, surely?

3+ golden stars for De restjes van de zon (The remnants of the sun), from our  listeners and their aloud readers!
