About the Author
Swedish author Sven has been illustrating children's books since 1983. The Pettson and Findus series is an international bestseller, with live action movies and a popular television show in Sweden and Germany! When he's not illustrating books for children, he spends time building playgrounds, children's play areas at hospitals, and decorations for schools. The beloved Pettson and Findus stories draw, in part, on Nordqvist's loving observations of his two sons when they were younger. His unique illustrations are inspired by the delights of everyday life.
Reviews
The colorful line-and-wash illustrations brim with lively details and exaggeration...Full of dramatic and comical moments, here's a treat for fans of the Adventures of Pettson and Findus series--Carolyn Phelan "Booklist "
The charm of the writing has much to recommend it, but it's the art that is the true star of the show. No matter how raucous or riotous Nordqvist's illustrations become, there's still room to include little Zen details, such as the chicken with its comb in a single hair roller or a pair of pups in a tree staring lovingly at the moon.--Kirkus Reviews
