by Sven Nordqvist

Book Overview

Pettson and Findus are back in this uproarious tale about gardening!

When Pettson announces that it's time to plant seeds in the garden, Findus, his cat, plants a meatball.

Customer Reviews

More fun with Pettson and Findus!

Our family reads a lot and loves books, but any books about Pettson and his cat Findus are some of our favorites. We discovered them when spending a summer in northern Sweden (Pettson and Findus live in Sweden). The story line is great, but the pictures tell many more stories within the bigger story. Have fun!

fabulous children's book!

Sven Nordqvist is a genius. Findus is a charming little cat and Pettson is his old man companion (most people would call him the "owner" of the cat, but Findus speaks and is NOT your typical cat!). They have great adventures and all is illustrated by beautiful, whimsical, colorful art work. You have to look very carefully to see all the little details. My first Findus book of his was one written in Swedish, but you could understand the story perfectly well because of his beautiful illustrations. Since then I have discovered many of his Findus and Pettson books have been translated into English and I'm trying to collect them all. I highly recommend these books to anyone - children and adults who appreciate beautiful illustrations and charming stories.
