Today we're reading a book from the Learn to Read with Zwijsen series for the first time. This series ties in with learning to read at school and is perfect for practicing at home. The book is called (an egg from goat?) The cute drawing on the cover certainly helped to choose. Maybe because it's Easter month ;))
The story is written by renowned children's author Martine Letterie. It's funny and easy to read for (almost) going to grade 3 children, around 6 years old. The words are short and the sentences are simple, so the little monsters quickly get the hang of it.
The cheerful illustrations are by Jeska Verstegen and immediately appeal to the little monsters. This book was an easy choice! The expression on Rik's face is relatable and funny. First, when you see Rik and the goat together, and then when Rik finds a huge egg in the goat's stable. They're so well-drawn, the little monsters immediately enjoy the book, and we still have a lot to read ;) It's a nice series!
3 glowing stars for 'een ei van geit?' (an egg from goat?) from the little readers and the big listeners!
