Report of the day
During the crazy events, Miss Roos, known from the children's program of the same name, came to read to the toddler groups and sing songs with the children. Groups 4 to 8 went through a colorful letter maze full of language games. Afterwards, influencer Wildebras (Gabriël Martina), known for his animal videos on TikTok and the Zapp program 'Wilde Buren', concluded with a dazzling performance about animal facts, including an animal quiz. Using his new book 'A Night at the Zoo', which the children all received after his performance, he told the children why he finds reading so fun and important. Wildebras: “I think reading is very important, because you can use your own imagination when reading. For example, when you read a book, you can unleash your own creativity and let everything speak to your imagination.”

Master Mark from De Blauwe Lijn school about the bollebozen event: “We notice that children read little. An event such as bollebozen excites them and can make them read more again.” In addition to organizing the bollebozen events, bol donated 80,000 books to various schools in the Netherlands, in line with the theme of this year's Children's Book Week 'At my home'’.
