Oh wow, I really didn’t do as well as I thought! I only got 65% correct, 13 out of 20 right and 7 out of 20 wrong. But in my defence, as I child, I read mostly Dutch/Flemish children’s books, and therefore I’m not so familiar with the classing English children’s stories and poems. I’m happy with my 65%! Can you do better?
Happy quizzing,
