Although in the Netherlands Halloween isn\u2019t as big as in the U.S., I decided to dedicate this post to Halloween with scary children\u2019s stories from the Netherlands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Paul van Loon, born in April 17, 1955, is a Dutch children\u2019s book writer. His style of writing combines scary stories with humor. In 2008, he was awarded the <em>Orde van Oranje Nassau<\/em> for his contributions to the Dutch culture. He has published over 100 books and is very well known in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>De Griezelbus<\/em> is a series of books by van Loon. The story takes place in <em>Kinderboekenweek<\/em> and Group 7 of Tulip Elementary School is invited by the writer Onnoval to take to a ride in the <em>Griezelbus<\/em>. Onnoval will read a few stories from his collection; these stories are about items in the bus as well as Onnoval himself. Little do the children know that they are in what will become the ride of their lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In 2005, <em>De Griezelbus<\/em> was made into a movie. I am including the movie trailer, but don\u2019t forget that the books are always better than the movie!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Offici\u00eble trailer DE GRIEZELBUS\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HBZaoPA38gc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Halloween Vocabulary:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>het spook<\/em>&#8211; the ghost<\/p>\n<p><em>de heks<\/em>&#8211; the witch<\/p>\n<p><em>de pompoen<\/em>&#8211; the pumpkin<\/p>\n<p><em>het skelet<\/em>&#8211; the skeleton<\/p>\n<p><em>het kostuum<\/em>&#8211; the costume<\/p>\n<p><em>de snoep<\/em>&#8211; the candy<\/p>\n<p><em>griezelig<\/em>&#8211; creepy<\/p>\n<p><em>het verhaal<\/em>&#8211; the story<\/p>\n<p><em>de schedel<\/em>&#8211; the skull<\/p>\n<p><em>het feest<\/em>&#8211; the party<\/p>\n<p><em>de kinderboekenweek- children\u2019s book week<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>afschrikken<\/em>&#8211; to scare<\/p>\n<p><em>verkleden<\/em>&#8211; to dress up<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Halloween is the day of spoken and heksen and pompoenen and skeletten.
