Kleuterboekje by Anna Sutorius

Description

Kleuterboekje by Anna Sutorius is an illustrated collection of children’s verses written in the early 20th century. The book offers gentle, rhymed snapshots of everyday family life, with playful scenes and mild moral hints aimed at very young readers. The poems move through small domestic moments: a sister coveting her brother’s porridge, two boys playing horse until their game ends in a quarrel and broken gear, a girl daydreaming of being a gardener and wishing to water the flowers, and a sulky boy who skipped breakfast. Other pieces show a child soothed to sleep on mother’s lap, a little girl fiercely loyal to a battered teddy bear, a stubborn Wies who resists an outing but soon makes amends, and a calm bedtime vignette where the clock strikes eight and lights go out.
