This Animal Here - 30 Animal Riddles

'This animal here - 30 riddle rhymes about animals' is an accessible collection of animal verses, specially written for young children and children who could use some extra language support, such as with low literacy. The verses are short, simple, and easy to understand, allowing children to playfully and accessibly engage with the sounds, movements, and characteristics of various animals. Together with the reader, they can guess which animal is being described. Children can also peek at the beautiful, colorful illustrations. Writer Rian Visser (known for the popular series 'Blitz!') and illustrator Iris Deppe ('We hebben er geen geitje bij') feature everyone's favorite animal in this luxuriously produced book on sturdy paper. For young children from 18 months. 'Every Monday, I volunteer at a daycare for children aged 0 to 4. We read a lot, but it's mainly looking at pictures and practicing words. The text is often difficult. That's how I got the idea for verses with the most recognizable characteristics of animals. The second line always contains a rhyming word for the animal, and in the fourth line, the child can guess the animal's name, aided by the rhyme. An accessible rhyming riddle game!' - Rian Visser
