This companion paperback to the wordless picture book Holland explains all the  details of every amazing picture, makingthis book  an armchair travel guide for  anyone already fond of this small country of tulips, windmills   and so much more.

A delightful ride for armchair travellers. Writer and illustrator Charlotte Dematons infuses this picture book with an enchanting appeal. Lovely watercolours present a great and diverse planet, teeming with life at all times of day and night. People and animals of every shape, colour, size and costume are portrayed, busy at work and play. As the yellow balloon floats through several historical periods - ancient, medieval, and contemporary - and through both natural and supernatural realms, young readers can look out for the small blue car, the fakir on his flying carpet, and the scoundrel in prison garb. This fascinating story takes young readers on a lively and fun-filled journey around the globe.

Holland – a land full of surprises, strange traditions, free-spirited people and a rich history. Charlotte Dematons, known for her well-loved picture book The Yellow Balloon, grew up in France, but moved to the Netherlands to study art as so many have before her. With the eye of an outsider but a warm heart for the country that became her new home, Charlotte Dematons paints with a keen eye for the detail for everything that makes The Netherlands so Dutch. It's easy to see how New York was first New Amsterdam when delving into modern-day Holland. The idiosyncrasies that make Holland so unique are revealed: from pensionada in unisex rain jackets on their bikes to a grandmother with her walker, skating on the ice, between the scenes of Avercamp, Bruegel and Bosch – and of course the multicultural Dutch society revealed and celebrated with wit and warmth. Also Available: Holland and 1000 Things About Holland set (picture book hardcover with accompanying paperback) $29.95.1000 Things About Holland explains all the details of every amazing picture, making this book both an I Spy book and an armchair travel guide for anyone already fond of this small country of tulips, windmills and so much more.

An alternative cover edition for this ISBN can be found hereVeertien vreemde verhalen, onder meer over een lucifersdoosje waarin je alles ‘floep’ zomaar kunt laten verdwijnen. Over diepvriesdames en onder de grond levende neurievolkjes. Over engeltjes met hemelse trompetjes. Over een prinsje dat veel te veel medegevoel heeft met zijn medemensen. Maar ook over de ietwat vreemde juffrouw Bok, die in de Stoofstraat woont. En over het meisje dat haar naam kwijt was (en Tijntje heette).

The walk to the store isn't far. It's just through the backyard. But this backyard isn't just any backyard when viewed with the imagination. It can be a forest inhabited by a dragon and a sleeping giant. It can be rocks near a shore, with a boat just ready to take you out to sea, where there might be whales, mermaids, or even pirates! Each color scene is viewed from above and filled with details.

C'era una volta una principessa che si annoiava non sapendo come passare il tempo. Prese allora una palla d'oro, con la quale soleva spesso giocare, e si addentrò nel bosco fino a dove si trovava una sorgente d'acqua pura e fresca. Là si sedette e si divertiva a gettare la palla in alto e a riprenderla. Le accadde tuttavia di lanciarla molto in alto. Ella tendeva già le braccia per afferrarla, ma la palla ricadde al suolo e rotolò in acqua.
