Dragons are a favorite of our little monsters, and not just ours, as a visit to the library reveals. There are so many books written about dragons! Looking for self-reading books for the upcoming holidays, this one is chosen: Het eilend van de Draken (The Island of the Dragons). (Only in Dutch)
The story is by German author Sabine Stehr and the colourful illustrations are made by illustrator Pascal Nöldner. The monsters cannot wait to read this book, it looks exciting. That enthousiasme is what we like to hear, when they are searching for books about learning how to read.
The story is exciting, but also funny! Today, Mats is going out to dinner with a friend and her parents. Two large stone dragons stand in front of the restaurant, and inside hangs a poster of dragons flying over an island. "Is this real?" asks Fien. "No," says Mats. "Who knows" says the girl at the restaurant. And so begins an exciting dragon adventure!
3 bright shining stars for The Island of Dragons, from the young readers and their big listeners!
