"Has the time-out-of-time feel of a folk tale and a sweet, rustic appeal.Nordqvist's detailed, expressive illustrations have enormous charm. " --N ew York Times Book Review on Findus Disappears! "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 "Nordqvist's illustrations are packed with inviting detail, and Pettson and Findus's testy but tender relationship is as enjoyable as the broad, goofy humor that runs through the story ." -- Publishers Weekly on The Birthday Cake "The large, full color, mixed-media illustrations are elaborate, containing many amusing details that encourage careful and repeated readings. A quirky and heartwarming tale.

" --School LIbrary Journal on When Findus Was Little and Disappeared "A gardening hullaballoo that uses its cacophony of chaos to an infinitely amusing end." -- Kirkus Reviews on A Ruckus in the Garden "Sure to win hearts and minds, even as its characters come near to losing the latter." -- Kirkus Reviews on The Camping Trip "These two comic characters are sly as any fox--and endearing to boot." -- Kirkus Reviews on The Fox Chase "A treasure that will lure a new generation of readers, rendering them life-long fans of Pettson and Findus." -- New York Journal of Books on The Camping Trip.
