"I love the Findus books. I came across them when I was in Sweden a couple of years ago, and I think they're enormously inventive, funny and charming. My grandchildren love them, too."

--Philip Pullman, author of "His Dark Materials" trilogy, including The Golden Compass

"A captivating, compassionate tale, with illustrations of comic genius."

--Penelope Todd, popular author of Watermark and other fiction for young adults

"I liked Findus and the Fox a lot. My favorite part was when everything was colorful and when Gustavsson was scared from Findus pretending to be a ghost Ooooooo! And everything went BANG, BING, KAPOW! I liked the bit when Pettson made a fake chicken out of a pepper balloon and glued feathers on it. All of the Findus and Pettson books are really good."

--Remy, age seven

"They have been in our book corner for one day and already I can see they will have an incredibly long shelf life--each one has been devoured several times already and the class were unanimous in their choice for story time at the end of the day. These books are irresistible for both adults and children--I can't recommend them highly enough."

--The Book Corner
