 Camping - Stubbornness - Fear
 When the holidays arrive, Liselotje proposes a camping trip to her mother, the queen. At the camping site
 a big tent is pitched. The king, however, stubbornly demands to have a very small tent all for himself. At
 night the king hears all kinds of noises and becomes more and more afraid. Finally, the small tent is placed
 at the front of the big tent. A new addition to the series of adventures with the little princess Liselotje and
 her father, the king, who is often childish and stubborn. In itself, the story is simple, but because of a
 sparkling rhyme and excellent elaboration of the characters, Busser and Schröder succeed in creating a
 beautiful read-aloud story. The elegant, action-filled illustrations add considerably to the reading (and
 viewing) pleasure. (3+)
