Secure When Findus Was Little And Disappeared Formulated By Sven Nordqvist Displayed In Mobi
Findus gruene Erbsen", sagte Pettersson, und er hatte ein Gefuehl, wie wenn man an einem Sommermorgen das Rollo hochzieht und das warme Sonnenlicht strömt herein.
Diese kurz Geschichte bei Sven Nordqvist ist über den alten Mann Pettersson und die Katze Findus, Am Anfang des Buches fragt Findus Pettersson die Geschichte zu erzaehlen, wie Findus zu ihn kam und verschwunden ist,
Ich mag es wie der Mann Pettersson wieder gluecklich wird und nicht mehr einsam ist, Und das es nur eine Katze dazu bringt wieder Farbe ins Leben zu bringen,
Ich werde die anderen Buecher in dieser Serie weiter lesen,
"Dann brauch ich mich nie mehr einsam zu fuehlen, Ich hab Nachbarn, Huehner und Mucklas, Und dann hab ich diesen kleinen Kater, " The Books about Petterson amp Findus were my Favorites as a Child, . The storys are told and drawns with so much love and detail, . It's not just a heatwarming story but pictures too! well i'm nowyears old and thought about the Books and since i have them still who would sell these i read them again.
. The Details on every page are great and vivid, . And now i found out where all my lost socks are :D ! Swedish, But No Dragon Tattoo
Sweden, or actually Finland by way of Swedish artist Tove Jansson, gave us the amusing and delightful Moomins and Moominvalley.
But then everything went "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo", Swedish title "Men Who Hate Women", and Sweden, in literature, suddenly went grim and violent.
Behind every curtain there was another Scandinavian author who specialized in creepy torture crime novels,
Well, that's a sort of silly intro to this book review, but it is nice to know that things are settling down and getting back to normal in Sweden.
Which leads us to these charming and delightful books,
There are nine Pettson and Findus books, published in Sweden betweenand, This book is the ninth, but since it tells the Findus "origin story" it is more like a first book, and it serves as an excellent introduction to the series.
In case you haven't read the blurbs, the setup is that Findus is a cat who was given as a pet to Pettson the farmer.
Pettson is apparently an older widower, since there is a reference in an earlier book to Pettson and his wife doing something together in their youth.
Findus and Pettson can communicate and Findus has almost human characteristics while still being a cat, That's pretty much it. There's a book about making pancakes, a book about fishing, one about camping, and so on, The stories are gentle and engaging and plots are uncomplicated,
For example, in this book we start with Findus being gifted to Pettson, Then Pettson and Findus begin to bond, Then, oh my, Findus disappears, I won't divulge the ending, but it's a little scary before all ends well,
The special thing here is that both the drawing and the narrative work, The pictures are straightforward, engaging and understandable, but they are very rich and full of little jokes and little amusing bits of business.
This is a picture storybook, and the drawings are full of life, energy, humor and character, That's pretty nice, especially when the writing is both mellow and inviting, The tale is told simply, but not in a "See Spot run" style, As in the pictures, there is depth and subtlety to the story line and its telling, There is a lot to learn here about friendship, loneliness, patience and the simple pleasures of life,
So, the upshot for me is that this was a rewarding, entertaining and very pleasant read, which seems like it would capture a youngster while still amusing the adult reader.
That's a fine combo.
Please note that I received a free advance ecopy of this book in exchange for a candid review.
Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book,
En passligt spännande och mycket rörande historia om när Findus flyttade in hos Pettson, Pettson recounts how and why Findus came into his life and the distressing day when Findus was lost, nowhere to be found.
Detailed illustrations tell the story just as well as the text and are worthy of a studious examination so as not to miss the careful detail.
Pettson and Findus stories are favorites of many and I can see why, The friendship between Pettson and the little cat in the big trousers will warm your heart and brighten your day!
Pettersson ist und bleibt mein grumpy SpiritAnimal.
Und die Kennenlerngeschichte mit Findus ist eine der herzerwärmendsten Erzählungen, die es gibt, I don't care if the Pettson and Findus books are picture books, They're still the best books ever, Super illustraties en zo schattig! SÅ SÖT! Smagi, nuotaikinga istorija apie Petsono ir Finduso pažintį bei tai, kaip Findusas prapuolė.
Labai gražūs ir kupini detalių paveikslėliai, Such fun little stories! I grew to love the main characters, The chickens were funny too, they reminded me of theHungarian animation I loved as a kid "Vuk the little Fox" based on the novel Vuk by István Fekete.
I found this fun series thanks to sitelinkLagobond many thanks, Lagobond, for bringing these books to my attention! They're especially good for the summertime, as I think :
Considering the length of each story I read so faris too short I'm adding to Goodreads just the two of them.
The illustrations are fantastic, so atmospheric and add to the story so much, They create the very mood, emphasize the aspects of all the characters by adding little details, The nature landscapes were wonderfully depicted too!
This is original, funny, sad and made in such an exquisite way, both gently and with a huge amount of humor, that any reader is rendered helpless to its charm and the author's ingenuity.
I can't remember when I last read a book that's as much for young kids as for old ones.
Pettsson, an old man who lives in the countryside, is in need of a friend, He thought about getting himself an old lady, but then again, naw, that'd be too much trouble, Something smaller, perhaps Well, a dog! No, . . it'd require too much attention But how about a little cat his friend asked, Well
The day after his friend had brought along a box which read "Findus green peas" Findus being a household brand in Sweden as he opened the box, Findus stood on all fours, tiny as a button.
They instantly became best friends, and one day, as Pettsson was reading the paper about a clown, Findus' first words were "I want pants like that!".
This marks the start of the tale which is only a bunch of pages long, and is utterly remarkable because of several things.
Nordqvist is an absolutely fantastic and remarkable writer as well as an extremely meticulous and funny illustrator, Findus comes alive with every stroke of his pens, and what goes on in the background constantly! makes for great rereads.
I'myears old and really nearly wept upon seeing Findus crying while hiding from a "monster", Art moves me, I guess, I realise the author hasn't really created any monsters or blackandwhite imagery which feels great to me I hate it when people try to present two diametrical versions of good and bad, without anything inbetween which so often is the case.
All in all, this is an absolutely brilliant tale and I'm very glad to see that it's available in other languages as well.
Long live Pettson amp Findus, as well as Sven Nordqvist! Stāsts diezgan vienkāršs, bet ilustrācijas kompensē katrā lappusē var iegrimt kā mīklā, priecāties par detaļām un pasmaidīt kopā ar ilustratoru par naglu žāvēšanu vai vistu kūts smalkumiem.
Visumā jau ļoti sirsnīgi un par visiem pazīstamām lietām, tai skaitā bailēm, og cottagecore This book warmed my heart!! Findus Disappears is charming, precious, funny, and the illustrations are priceless, Any child would enjoy hearing about Old Man Pettson, how he comes to have the cat Findus Green Peas named for the box he arrived in, how he comes to love Findus and find joy in his company, and what happens when Findus disappears.
I loved reading about little Findus, how he comes to talk, and his desires for high fashion and adventure, This is a very sweet read aloud book, I cannot imagine any child or adult who would not be absolutely enchanted by this story, I would definitely enjoy reading the other books in this series, Sven Nordqvist is a gifted storyteller and talented illustrator,
I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, I reread this fine book recently, I'd quite forgotten how Pettson originally acquired Findus! It starts off when he's having coffee with his neighbour and complains that he's feeling lonely.
"You need a wife!" says the neighbour, a sprightly old lady,
"Nah," says Pettson, "I'm used to living on my own, I wouldn't know what to do with a woman, " He actually says en hel tant, which is much funnier, but I can't think how to translate that.
"A cat would be nice though, "
A couple of days later, the neighbour comes back with a box marked "FINDUS GRÖNA ÄRTER", There's a kitten inside. Findus is the leading Swedish frozenfood company, and gröna ärter is peas, so this is basically "BIRDS EYE PEAS".
But Pettson, who as you can see in sitelink Pannkakstårtan is very logical, decides that it must be the kitten's name.
. I read the first Findus and Pettson books when I wasoryears old, I have always loved them and I can still laugh at the old stories when I come across them by chance when I visit my parents.
When I so this new adventure at NetGalley I just couldn't resist reading it,
For those of you who aren't familiar with the characters, a little summary: Pettson is an old man who lives in a little red house somewhere in Sweden.
He's a bit of a loner, With him are living his hens, some mumbles little creatures he doesn't see and of course his cat Findus, Findus is a lazy, fresh cat who usually annoys Pettson but who's also his best friend, Findus can talk but he only does it when Pettson and he are alone, Pettson's neighbors think of him as a bit of a nutcase because of that,
This new book, Findus Disappears!, is chronologically the first book in the series, It tells how Pettson was given Findus by his neighbor when Findus was still a kitten, Pettson instantly loves Findus and they develop a tight relationship, One day, Findus disappears: he ent exploring the house and garden while Pettson was still sleeping, Outside he meets a badgers and is so scared of him that is doesn't dare to go home again, With the help of the mumbles Pettson finally finds Findus again,
The story is lovely as usual and the drawings are just wonderful: Sven Nordqvist uses incredibly much details and you can see that he really loves what he is doing.
However, there was one thing I missed in this book: I remember Findus as this fresh cat who is always up to some mischief.
In this story the freshness is missing, At one point Findus even cries, I still loved the book but it is a bit different from the rest of the series,
I highly recommend the whole Findus series to readers of each
age, However, I probably wouldn't start with this book even though it is chronogically the first, I'd start with one of the older books in the series, e, g. The Fox Hunt or Findus at Christmas, Still, four for this once again most charming story,
I received a free digital copy via NetGalley Our family has been fans of the Festus and Findus books for overyears and I was delighted to see these titles in new English editions! Between the endearing relationship of cat and bachelor farmer, and the phenomenal illustrations that allow children to discover new things on repeat readings, to the clever yet simple story lines that children can relate to, these books charm the young and old alike.
Thanks, NetGalley, for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review, I absolutely love these stories, whether translated as Pettsson and Findus, or as Festus and Mercury, This is a good one to start with,
When the two first meet, Findus is a kitten, bedded in a carton that had held Findus Green Peas, and labeled such.
So Pettsson named the kitten after the label, naturally,
"Hello Findus Green Peas," Pettson said, feeling just as when you pull up the blinds on a summer morning and the warm sunlight pours in.
"I'm Pettsson and this is my kitchen, You are going to live here now, " And then: "Would you like some coffee"
Touches like that coffee, because Pettsson is an old Swedish bachelor, make the story special.
Of course neighbor Andersson, giver of the kitten, teaches Pettsson enough about kittens to care for it properly,
What makes the series extra special is the art, Appealing, warm, detailed, and so funny, The books can be read over and over and the reader can still find more favorite bits to see in the pictures.
Grāmatas par večuku Petsonu un kaķi Findusu varētu būt viena no foršākajām "liels un mazs" sērijām, milzīgi mīlīga, bet bez pārmērīga salduma, kā šeit, kad Petsons pirmo reizi ierauga Findusu: "un viņu pārņēma sajūta, it kā viņš vasaras rītā paceltu uzvelkamos aizkarus, un iekšā ieplūstu saules stari.
"
Stāstījums par Petsona un Findusa nesteidzīgo dzīvi ir nomierinošs savā vienkāršībā.
Arī sižeti ir nesamāksloti, bez lielas drāmas, toties par bieži aizmirstu vērtīgo pieticību, uzticību.
Un tas viss kopā ar fantastiskajām ilustrācijām, kuras var pētītreizes un katru reizi ieraudzīt kaut ko jaunu.
Pamanījāt, ka bildē no dienas, kad Petsons dzīvoja viens, viņam kafijas krūzītē bija tikai viena karotīte Toties bildē no dienas, kad Petsons ir ar Findusu, tajā pašā krūzītē ir divas karotītes.
Aww :
"Katru vakaru viņš kaķim lasīja priekšā pasakas, " Cartea o fost foarte frumoasa, Mia placut mult povestea lui Findus, Jā, arī šādas grāmatas es lasu, lai iepazītu grāmatas, kuras lasa mani bērni,
Grāmata dikti jauka, sirsnīga un ilustrācijas ir košas un interesantas,
Patika gan man, gan arī tiem, kuriem lasīju priekšā,
Iesaku sākumskolas skolniekiem kā pirmo lasāmvielu, Originally published in Swedish as När Findus var liten och försvann, this ninth installment of Sven Nordqvist's marvelous series of picturebooks about grumpy farmer Pettson, and his quirky cat companion, Findus, is actually only the seventh I have been able to obtain and read, the seventh and eighth books sitelinkTomtemaskinen and sitelinkTuppens minut, respectively being unavailable, as far as I'm aware, in English.
A prequel of sorts, When Findus was Little and Disappeared tells the story of how Findus first came to live with Pettson, as a young kitten as well as how he got his name!, and also fills in some information about the little creatures that run around Pettson's house unseen by him throughout the series.
With plenty of that distinctive humor one has come to expect from Nordqvist, but also a heartwarming element of sweetness that was quite unexpected, I think When Findus was Little and Disappeared might be one of my favorite entries in the series.
The artwork is as engaging as ever, with its wealth of details and amusing visual effects I like the way Nordqvist portrays the direction of Pettson's gaze at times, with the pupils seen in his glasses, rather than behind them, and the story is immensely satisfying, for the reader who has come to care about these characters.
I was quite pleased, moreover, to discover something about the little muckles that only Findus can see, not the least of which what these tiny creatures were called!
All in all, another wonderful book, in a wonderful series I know, I know, I'm starting to sound like a broken record.
I only wish that more of these stories had been translated, as I've now reached the end of the available titles in English.
Ah well I can always reread, I guess!,
