Reviews

[Mehsi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Tja, wel een leuk boek uiteindelijk, maar waarom moet het toch zo negatief steeds zijn? Iemand rot noemen vind ik nou niet netjes. De Engelse vertaling lijkt het gewoon wat meer ambigu/meer vriendelijker.
Maar wel een leuk boekje uiteindelijk, ik snap ook wel waarom de ene zus dus zo deed en ik vond het idee wel grappig. Ik weet niet zeker of dat de juiste oplossing is... maar het werkt en iedereen is er OK mee dus dan is het goed.
Leuke illustraties.
Maar misschien moet ik gewoon maar hopen dat de Engelse boeken een keer in een bieb te vinden zijn, want ik heb gewoon weinig zin in de NL vertaling meer.

[The Book Squirrel · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is little series is a perfect first reader for ages 4-6. The rhyming stories are short, fun, and cute. Readers can get tiresome for kids learning to read - this series is a nice addition for beginner readers.

[Dania F · Rating 4 out of 5]

These books are a treat for those learning to read, as they are short and the feeling of gratification is rather easy to obtain. Contentwise these books are rather aimed at 3 year olds, meaning my 5 year old reads them and my 3 year old enjoys being read to. Double win

[Renata Guerra · Rating 4 out of 5]

Este libro es ideal para los niños que empiezan a leer pues el texto viene en mayúsculas.

Cuenta la historia de dos hermanas que aunque se ven iguales, tienen personalidades diferentes.
