Today we read a very special Pim and Pom book by famous Dutch author/illustrator Fiep Westendorp, a flip-over book! If you start on one side of this picture book you read a story about Girl with the Pearl Earring but if you start on the other side you read a storey of The Milkmaid.
They are both world famous paintings, made by the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675). The painting Girl with a Pearl Earring (1665) hangs in the Mauritshuis in The Hague. In the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam you will find The Milkmaid (ca 1660). There you can see the paintings in real life,
Fiep's stories are always funny and the cats are super cute, so of course our little monsters love this book. We read it to them with nostalgic pleasure, because who didn't grow up with the cute and funny stories of the naughty cat duo? We did!
3 never-fading stars for Girl with the Pearl Earring / The Milkmaid flip over book, from the little listeners and their readers!
