Remark:
This is a dear little book. Its 48 pages are filled with lovely illustrations of animals doing all sorts of things, but apparently mostly producing books, newspapers, and other texts. I struggled a long time to try to discover what a Veenmol is in Dutch. The clue came when I noticed the name of this publisher: Veenman. Apparently a veenmol is a Veenman worker! Two of the last illustrations suggest perhaps the price of not valuing books: barbed wire and burning books. There is an inserted slip announcing this little book as a 75th-anniversary gift of the publisher.
