READ IN DUTCH

Ik vond deze boekjes vroeger erg leuk om te lezen, en vooral ook om ze te verzamelen. Heel wat uren heb ik ze lopen zoeken op rommelmarkten en internet. Uiteindelijk had ik ze dan bijna allemaal. Qua verhaal stelt het meestal niet heel erg veel voor, maar als tussendoorboekjes vond ik ze altijd wel leuk om te lezen.
