Tono dan Tini

My jaw dropped when my dearest friend Ruru gave Tono dan Tini book to me. We have both been looking for this book for years! and when she finally found it she gave it to me. I had mixed feelings between excited and not deserving this book since it was her childhood memory but she insisted that i keep it.

My love for Jip and Janneke started when Ruru and i took a Dutch language course at Erasmus Huis Jakarta. We always arrived very early before the course started so we could visit the library. We both love books by the way. Anyway, while we browsed at the childrens book section she spotted a Jip en Janneke. She told me that book cover reminded her about a book she read when she was little called Tono dan Tini. She explained about it but i all i could remember was Tini series from Marcel Marlier. We both decided to borrow the Jip en Janneke book from the library and the rest is history.

I dedicate this post for Ruru. Thank you, terimakasih, matur nuwun sanget for introducing me to these two cute characters Jip and Janneke and for giving me Tono dan Tini (it means A LOT!), i will take a good care of it.
