Jip and Janneke, the two most famous tots in the Netherlands, take you on a journey through their country, introducing you to tulip fields and cowl, cycling and ice skating and the St. Nicholas celebrations. There are many lovely things to see and experience - which may help to explain why UNICEF has identified Dutch children as being the happiest in the world. < > < >The illustrations in this book are among the most beautiful that Fiep Wenstendorp ever made. Her instantly recognisable black-and-white silhouettes are transformed into a world full of colour. Together with short explanatory texts, they form a perfect introduction to the Netherlands throughout the four seasons.
