Day 70: Jip en Janneke by Annie M.G. Schmidt en Fiep Westendorp


After choosing many children's book covers to judge, I thought about the need for young children to read the same book over and over again. What is with that? I'm the first to put my hand up and say I'm guilty of this. My habit started with The Babysitters' Club when I was about 6-years-old. To this day, whenever I am stuck without a book at my parents home, I'll find a Babysitters' Club book and happily read it. I guess the familiarity and ease of how we find ourselves in the same situations over again is what makes us human.
