'Waanzinnige boomhutverhalen over toen het Stoel-In -Je-Neus-Dag was en en andere WAANZINNIGE gebeurtenissen.' This is the very long and somewhat absurd title of this year's children's book week gift. The book is written by the popular Australian author Andy Griffiths. Last week, the writer toured several Dutch bookstores, where children queued for hours to have their books signed. We called Andy to hear about his experience of the Dutch children's book week.


Dutch Children's Book Week ends this Sunday, October 16th.
