Zaanse Schans is one of the highlights of the Netherlands. It’s located just outside of Amsterdam, and you can get there by taking the suburban train from the Amsterdam Central Station. Here you will find a working community dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries full of wooden windmills, barns, houses and museums! Built in the Dutch wooden architectural style, this town was actually relocated here piece by piece!. The Zaanse Schans will surprise you with what you see, taste, smell and experience! Most of what you will see is free; and shopping is loads of fun, an important thing for any mom. And please don’t miss the chocolate shop where you can buy some Dutch homemade chocolate! You can also buy a cup of hot chocolate and a slice of warm apple pie smothered in whipped cream for an extra-special tummy warming treat on a cold, blustery day. In this ‘learn to read’ book filled with word recognition, word repetition and rhyme, the award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan, along with photographer John D. Weigand, will fill your imagination with windmills and fun! As a further addition to the learning experience, don’t forget to watch the free music video that goes with this book on the Bellissimavideo YouTube Channel.
