Booklist for the Netherlands

Third Grade in Waldorf Education is a time when we study housebuilding and interesting shelters around the world, and today I talked with a student about the floating houses of the Netherlands. She was enchanted, and asked that we spend more time learning about this country! So here is a list of books about the Netherlands. If you have more titles, please share them!
