National Reading Days
Every year, the National Reading Days are organized by Stichting Lezen and CPNB to stimulate reading. For this purpose, a top 10 of picture books is selected by libraries , booksellers and teachers. Attention is paid to the story and beautiful illustrations, but the jury also looks at possibilities for play and interaction with toddlers.
A picture book of the year will be chosen from this top 10 picture book list, which will be the focus of the National Reading Days.
This year the National Reading Days were from January 26 to February 5. The beautiful picture book ' Maar eerst vang ik een monster ' was chosen as picture book of the year 2022. A nice picture book, in which a child thinks up his own story for bedtime:
This is a short story.
Why is it short?
Because it's bedtime. The story is about you. You went to sleep. And then the story was over.
Yes, but first I caught a monster.
A monster?
Just look.
