Description

Findus has drawn a picture for Pettson. But where is Pettson? Findus asks everyone he meets, but nobody seems to know - not the hens, not the cows, not even the muckles. How will Findus find Pettson? Suitable for children from age two years upwards, this board book is brightly illustrated with lively and lovable characters. As with other Findus titles in our series, it follows the adventures and misdemeanours of the mischievous Findus the Cat and Farmer Pettson, along with their muckle friends. Within the vibrant storylines the Findus books gently approach personal and social issues which the characters learn to overcome with humour and playfulness.

Through his series, Nordqvist hopes to create a world in which problems can find resolution, encouraging creative and practical thinking with his funny and charming narratives and playful and industrious characters.

Critical Reviews

"The characters are quirky and original, and illustrations are absolutely delightful ... I can't recommend them highly enough."

--Philip Pullman, author of "His Dark Materials" and "The Book of Dust" series

"...the pictures create a world, not only depicting the farmhouse and surrounding countryside in irresistible detail, but also telling humorous little sub-narratives about the tiny creatures that live about the farm."

--Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times
