Lida Dijkstra's retellings are a favorite of our mini-monsters and De ring van koning Salomo is no exception! Beautifully she brings the ancient folktales and legends to life for today's children. This story has everything you could wish for, creepy demons, angels and even a flying carpet!
Why we love Martijn van der Linden's illustrations so much is immediately clear in this book, they are truly beautiful and he can draw in every style. He illustrates an old legend with artwork that perfectly matches the book. Illustrator is not the word for him, artist is. A treasure for children, this book.
3+ shining stars for King Solomon's Ring, from the mini and the maxi monsters!
