The Camping Trip (The Adventures of Pettson and Findus) - Tapa dura

"Charming...This stand-alone title in a series is sure to win hearts and minds..."--Vicky Smith "Kirkus Reviews "

....this amusing picture book indeed offers a good story to tell, with a text sufficiently well crafted and detailed enough to engage children who may be reading on their own but still enjoy hearing books read aloud. The colorful, detailed ink-and-wash illustrations are full of energy and wit.--Carolyn Phelan "Booklist "

...the books as a whole are utterly charming and "The Camping Trip" is particularly fine. By my thinking any book that displays a cat with a beanie is doing something right.--Elizabeth Bird "School Library Journal, A Fuse #8 Production "

Nordqvist's illustration style is bursting at the seams with character and energy. He takes every opportunity to infuse little surprises under every leaf, in each nook and cranny...it is still a treasure that will lure a new generation of readers, rendering them life-long fans of Pettson and Findus.--Cindy Helms "New York Journal of Books "

Pettson and Findus are back in this hilarious tale about camping.

When Findus finds a tent in the attic, Pettson starts imagining what it would be like to go hiking by the lake and to cook on the grill as the sun is setting. But when the hens want to join in the fun too . . . things turn out very differently than what Pettson had in mind.
