The Sinterklaas Book for toddlers

e Sinterklaas season is about to begin again, so we are reading a beautiful new book, especially for the smallest little monsters. It was written by Marianne Busser and Ron Schröder with the most marvelous illustrations by Aron Dijkstra.  Everything about this important celebration is covered in this cheerful picture book. Sinterklaas getting ready for the journey to the Netherlands. He takes one last look in the mirror: is my mitre neatly upright? Then onto the big steamboat, packed with presents, to our little stamp-sized country!

Not only  Sinterklaas is tired, but so are the Pieten and Ozosnel, Sinterklaas' brave horse. They too have climbed and delivered presents throughout the Netherlands. Ozosnel carried Sinterklaas on his back, to everywhere, even over the rooftops. But look how cool! They all are lying soundly in their hammocks; even Ozosnel and they have earned it! Such a terrific book, with the brilliant illustrations by Aron Dijkstra!
