[fresasparaelrey]

Gonna correct you slight slightly:

Jujja & Tomas Wieslander are the authors of the books, but Sven Nordqvist is the illustrator!

I'd like to show you Mamma Mu & Kråkan (Mama Moo & The Crow)! Mamma Muu is a lovely little swedish cow who likes to do stuff cows usually don't do and does most of it with the help of the friend Kråkan.

They have several kinds of books and a few movies, thought I haven't seen any of 'em. The movies only came recently-ish.

I used to have a plushie of her when I was little, I still have it somewhere but it's in a box I can't get to right now.

THIS IS THE CUTEST THING IM SCREENSHOTTING THIS AND SENDING IT TO MY FRIENDS I LOVE YOU THIS IS MY FAVORITE THING IN THE WORLD!!!

Six Classic Swedish Children’s Books to Read

Children’s literature of Sweden has had an outsized effect on global books for kids, thanks in part to a few memorable and delightful characters like Pippi Longstocking and Alfie Atkins. While there are so many Swedish children’s books to love, we’ve chosen a few that can serve as the building blocks of your child’s library (or your own – adults should read kids’ books too!), and that you’ll love reading with your family over and over again.

These are the classic Swedish children’s books that bring joy and wonder to readers, young and old:

Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren

First appearing in 1945, Pippi Longstocking has charmed children and adults alike with her incredible adventures, pet monkey Mr. Nilsson, and bright red pigtails. When she moves into Villa Villakulla next door to Tommy and Annika, the two are fascinated by her independent lifestyle and superhuman strength. It is her ability to solve problems with kindness, however, that makes her a true role model.

The series is made up of three books: Pippi Longstocking (1945), Pippi Goes on Board (1946), and Pippi in the South Seas (1948). These books have been translated into 76 languages and various parts of the books have been turned into picture books and films over the years.

Author Astrid Lindgren, a national treasure in Sweden, has written many wonderful books, but Pippi remains her most lasting legacy. Lindgren has said that Pippi “Pippi represents my own childish longing for a person who has power but does not abuse it.”

    The Wonderful Adventures of Nils by Selma Lagerlöf

This a rare book that is part adventure and part historical document. Published in 1906, the book is a the result of a national commission to create a geography reader for schools. Author Selma Lagerlöf devoted three years to studying various folklore and narratives of the Swedish provinces to make sure she included all she could. She also included the Swedish spelling reforms mandated by government resolution in 1906. Today, the book typically includes both the original version and the sequel, The Further Adventures of Nils (1907).

The story focuses on a young boy, Nils, who mistreats animals on his family farm. He catches an elf (called a tomte in Swedish), who then turns Nils himself into an elf. Nils grabs on to the wing of a farm goose that flies to join a flock of wild geese flying overhead, and his journey across the provinces of Sweden begins. As Nils flies over the country, the reader also follows subplots with characters in the provinces. This is a true adventure book with a deep love of Sweden and nature.

    Mama Moo by Jujja and Tomas Wieslander

This beloved series of books – originally based on a radio play and subsequently turned into books, games, and albums – follows the sweet, silly adventures of a talking cow, Mama Moo, and her best friend. The books first appeared in 1993 and have been translated into 30 languages since.

    Goodnight, Alfie Atkins by Gunilla Bergström

Alfie Atkins, known as Alfons Åberg in Swedish and Danish, appeared in the first of his 24 book series in 1974. He’s a young boy who is in a hurry to grow up. Along with his kind father (there’s no mother in the stories), Alfie goes through everyday moments that all children will relate to. When he’s very young, his days are accompanied by his invisible friend Malcom (Mållgan); as he grows, real friends come into the picture.

The appeal of Alfie lies in his ordinariness; he is sometimes happy, sometimes mad, sometimes afraid, and sometimes brave. They’re small, sweet stories that are full of cheer and charming illustrations, also by Bergstöm.

    Can You Whistle Johanna? by Ulf Stark

When Berra decides he wants a grandfather like his friend Uffe, the two boys go to a retirement home to find one. This a beautiful, sad-at-times story of cross-generational friendship and the power of reaching out for the love you need. The book first came out in 1993 and it’s since been made into a classic Swedish film.

This is a tough book to find in its English version, so snap up a copy if you see one!

    Goodbye Mr. Muffin by Ulf Nilsson

A wonderful, gentle book about a difficult subject, Goodbye Mr. Muffin will help you discuss the topic of death – that of a pet or person – in a way that makes sense and isn’t scary. The book is the story of Mr. Muffin, a guinea pig who is reflecting on his long life.

Topics such as the afterlife, death rites, and saying goodbye are approached with sweet simplicity; if you’re wondering how to speak to your young child about death, this book provides a good framework and language to do so.

Det ko-la inlägget

Häromdagen utspelade sig ett samtal om ko-karaktärer då jag förklarade att “Tora är min ko”. För dig som inte känner till mina ljudböcker, är Tora huvudkaraktären i berättelserna om “Koförskolan”. Faktiskt är det så det känns! Tora är min ko och jag gillar henne skarpt. Jag gillar hennes nyfikenhet och hennes klurighet.

Men det finns många fler kor ute i världen. Särskilt en av dem har väl kommit att bli, inte bara sina upphovsmakares ko utan också allas vår underbara påhittiga ko. Javisst, såklart att jag menar “Mamma Mu”! Nu startar den cyklande, gungande och telefonpratande härliga kon en egen youtubekanal. Här kan ni läsa mer om det: https://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=4416&artikel=7060448 För dig som inte känner till “Mamma Mu” sedan tidigare, finns det många böcker att läsa eller ljudböcker att lyssna på om henne och vännen “Kråkan”. Författare är Jujja Wieslander, Tomas Wieslander och Sven Nordqvist.

Under min uppväxt var min pappa så kallad “månskensbonde” (fritidsbonde). Därför har jag faktiskt inte bara haft min fiktiva Tora- ko i min ägo. Även om det i realiteten var pappas kor, har jag nog haft fler individer från kreatursfamiljen som jag betecknat som mina, än vad jag kan minnas i dag. Lola, Blenda och stuten Ingo är i alla fall några av dem. Ingo fick jag för mig att jag skulle rida in och tillverkade en märklig sadel av sittdyna och stigbyglar. Jag behöver kanske inte ens säga att det slutade sådär och projektet lades ner.

För ett par år sedan mötte vi, familjen och jag, den här kon (eller kanske en manlig sort?) när vi var på utflykt med bilen.

Ett mycket fint uppförande i trafiken hade den i varje fall, ordentligt uppställd intill mötesplatsen =)
