The brothers in the book are about the same age, or the little brother is. The older brother is, well...older :o) I'd actually say that it is not a story for kids under 7-8. It deals with some heavy things, but in such a good way. Its a wonderful story. You could also read it yourself ;o)Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04041866872571178817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32012237.post-17047483010259404532008-11-10T08:57:00.000-08:002008-11-10T08:57:00.000-08:00Bogsider, my kids are 8 and 11, and both boys.

It is a must-read. Not fun and girlpower-ish like Pippi. But good. Very good.<BR/><BR/>@Splummer - you are welcome. I found your post about James Patterson interesting, as I know the author myself (not know him like that, but I've read a lot of his books)<BR/><BR/>@Kim - yes, the kids from Noisy Village are the best! One of the Noisy Village picture books is about Christmas in Noisy Village, and I remember wanting such a Christmas myself ;o)<BR/><BR/>@Smallworld - I found good inspiration in your post about Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Even the name is interesting!<BR/><BR/>@a beluga - Yeah, I guess I had it a little easier than you finding out facts about A. Lindgren ;o) But you could try reading some Danish sites - I think we use many words which are the same in Dutch and Danish ;o) And how funny that we both wrote about the same author. She did have quite and impact on my reading habits and skills.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all your comments, it is very much appreciated.<BR/><BR/>LouiseLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04041866872571178817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32012237.post-55145630356263839032008-11-10T02:08:00.000-08:002008-11-10T02:08:00.000-08:00Hi!

One can only admire Fab Pippi and her antics and although her tales may be for kids, I still LOVE to see the old (Swedish) Pippi-films made with the sweet Inger Nilsson I mention in my post as well. Pippi-power rocks!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment,<BR/><BR/>LouiseLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04041866872571178817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32012237.post-79996736609373183572008-11-09T09:50:00.000-08:002008-11-09T09:50:00.000-08:00Just read your Weekly Geeks Post Louise.
