I have somewhat of a history with this book in that I many times almost read it. Back when it was regularly available in Dutch stores I almost bought it a few times, I almost asked it for my birthday, I almost borrowed it from the library. But now, over a decade later, I'm finally actually taking a look at it. Spoilers ahead.
Note:
The title of this book has been translated into English by me for the
reading comprehension of this blog's viewers as the book itself isn't
available in English (yet). The original title reads Mini Informatie #353: Wolven.
Okay, so in Dutch schools there's (or used to be) this type of very short and concise A5-sized information books about all sorts of topics. There were a few different runs of these types of books and for different reading levels, but the basic gist is the exact same. Pick a topic, write a short and to-the-point book about it with some information and illustrations and that's it. They're never long, usually about 20-40 pages each. They're just here to teach children the basics of a subject and because they're so short they're easy to digest and children can read about a lot of wide topics in a short time. I mean, just look at the number of books there are in this series.
So, case in point, today I'll be reviewing the Mini Information book on wolves, because reviewing wolf books is my jam.
