House Renovation, Scandinavian-style

I review a lot of books for the Funseekers Radio Network, but this story caught my eye and kept me laughing throughout. The Bergenborgstroms are moving into a home that needs lots of "fixing" and renovation. One by one, the cousins and older members of the extended family are called in to help, even some Bergenborgstoms from the circus to fix the roof. Grampie Gustie continues to call family members until little Timmer winds up directing the traffic to avoid snarls. The renovations are finished just in time to greet some non-Scandinavian gophers who want to move in. This is a delightfully written story. The illustrations by Richard Clark are nicely done and extremely funny. Anybody related to Scandinavians, or who knows what UFF DA means, should buy the book.
