Dieren in de stad (Animals in the City) by Dutch authors Marja Baeten en Lucas Arnoldussen is a great book to read to children, it is a combination of stories mixed with factual information.
Our monsters listen to the stories and at the same time learn a lot about the animals we encounter every day om our way to school. The heron in the ditch, the coot in the canal, the pigeons in the street near the Bakers, sadly we just haven't seen a fox in the schoolyard yet.
The fun illustrations are made by creative illustrator Gertie Jaquet and the monsters just love the beautiful animals on the cover of the book. Gertie also makes the nicest, fun stamps and she has made a book about it called Stempelen (Stamping), in which you can read how you can make your own stamps or you can go to her stamp-making workshop. How fun is that? (Too bad the books are not tranlated into English).
