| Publisher Description: "I'm in a bad mood and I want to be left alone," says Pettson. Findus the cat stares at him. He's never seen the old farmer so grumpy. I must cheer him up, he thinks. Somehow. "Can't we go fishing?" he says. "Then you'll feel better." But Pettson doesn't want to go fishing. It's cold and wet, and he must dig over the potato patch and chop wood. But Findus knows how to make Pettson smile. Maybe he can get him to play instead of toiling in the soil. After all, Findus is a very unusual cat... Findus goes Fishing is the ninth story published by Hawthorn Press about Findus the talking cat and his farmer. The series has sold more than six million books in 44 languages, and is beloved by children around the world. (Ages 3-7 years) |
Contributor Bio(s): Nordqvist Sven: - Sven Nordqvist is a leading Swedish children's illustrator and writer. Nordqvist was born in Helsingborg and grew up in Halmstad, Sweden. He originally wanted to be an illustrator but was rejected by several art schools. Instead, he studied architecture in Lund and worked as a lecturer in architecture in the university. Meanwhile, he looked for work as an illustrator of advertisements, posters, and picture books. In 1983, he won first prize in a children's book competition and since then has worked exclusively as an author and illustrator of children's books, which have won awards in Sweden and Germany. The Findus and Pettson stories draw on his own playful adventures with his two young sons. Nordqvist's unique illustrations are inspired by his delight in everyday life. |
