CAN FINDUS FIND PETTSON? ~ SVEN NORDQVIST
by Floris
Findus has drawn Pettson a picture. 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 the 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.
Format: Board book (170mm X 170mm) 20 pages

As a trained architect, Sven Nordqvist describes himself as a draughtsman rather than an author or illustrator. He has dabbled in illustration from childhood and has won many awards, mainly for his Pettson and Findus series which have been successfully published in various languages.
Nordqvist set out intentionally to create a safe world in his Pettson and Findus series; a world in which problems can find resolution. Such a world, he believes, provides the security that children need in today’s world: “The world should be comprehensible. Essentially that’s how I myself would like it to be.”
