Lisa and Jimmy - What a mess

Lisa & Jimmy go to the beach!

Lisa is thrilled: she's going to the beach with Dad! And her friend Jimmy gets to come along. It had just been a big storm, and the wind left all sorts of things behind. At a beachside cafe, they get a 'juttas' (beachcombing bag). With it, they can help clean up the beach, because all that rubbish is bad for the animals. The two friends find not only trash but also all kinds of treasures: a beach ball, a shark's tooth, a net, an old gym shoe, and a lost teddy bear. Together, Lisa and Jimmy look for the child who lost their teddy bear. Cleaning up has never been so much fun!

Yuck, what a mess! is a cheerful and relatable read-aloud story for preschoolers and perfectly aligns with the theme of the 2022 Children's Book Week: Gi-ga-groen! (Gigantic Green!) Written by Vivian den Hollander and with heartwarming illustrations by Dagmar Stam.

Kinderboekenland's advice on: Lisa and Jimmy go to the beach

With this fun read-aloud story, you teach preschoolers something about nature! And most importantly, you teach preschoolers that you shouldn't just throw away your rubbish. Because 'Yuck, what a mess!', the whole beach is full of rubbish! Dagmar Stam has been illustrating the best children's books for years. And with these fun illustrations, you can even make the read-aloud story interactive. After the read-aloud time, the first steps towards independent reading begin. And this children's book is also suitable for that. Start with reading along so children can gradually learn to read themselves! This children's book is suitable for all three of these phases. That's why this children's book is listed with both preschoolers and the category for reading in group 3.
