The Birthday Cake: The Adventures of Pettson and Findus

24 pp. | North-South | February, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7358-4203-8 $17.95
(3) K-3 It's cat Findus's birthday, and Pettson, his eccentric elderly-farmer owner, is intent to make him his customary cake out of pancakes, which leads to a comedy of errors involving a sleeping bull. As in Findus Disappears!, Nordqvist takes his time, giving equal attention to the plot and the cat-human friendship. Also attentive are the illustrations, featuring bushels of country-life details.
