This 20 page softcover was first published in Belgium by De Beukelaer bakery. It includes 100 numbered spaces to glue the De Beukelaer collectible cards (seen in
previous post). The book measures approximately 13.5" x 9.75".
The dominant two languages spoken in Belgium are Dutch and French, so it's not surprising that this title was published separately in both. Same story, same stickers, just different languages. It seems that numerous editions of the book have been printed. They date from circa 1940.
French version (F1) was bound in a reddish-brown softcover and held together with a simple red cord. Another later French edition (F2) was spiral-bound in an orange softcover. A Dutch (D) edition came with a spiral-bound blue softcover.
