Children Love Stories. They snuggle up to parents or older siblings to hear them, one again, from their favorite story book. Author Willem Van de Hulst honed his skills at telling stories in his elementary school classrooms and then 'retired' to devote himself to a life of writing numerous more shorter and longer stories. This book offers 32 of these, a collection of favorite ones, written from his hearers' level.
