This picture book is not just for reading. It is also a wonderful read-together book: the interaction between the hurried adult and the child, who pushes him to continue storytelling, will bring much joy.Kees deBoer brings a boy's fantasy to life in a fun and unique way: monsters, soldiers, more monsters...Tjibbe Veldkamp wrote a story that continues forever. An ode to the imagination and the magical power of stories: the ideal book for every child that can never get enough of bedtime stories!
