About the book: year / Sven Nordqvist (born April 30, 1946) is a Swedish children's writer and illustrator. Winner of prestigious literary awards, in particular the Astrid Lindgren Prize for the best children's book. Nordkvist is known for his series of books about Pettson and his kitten Findus. The world created in this series of books is simply amazing! Everything is thought out down to the smallest details. And the most amazing details can be found in Pettson’s abode itself: here are his funny inventions, here is a bedside table on skis, here are chickens drinking tea in beads and many, many other interesting things! Nordkvist is not only a wonderful artist with a recognizable style, but also extremely original narrator. This Swedish writer is already unique in that the plot of his future fairy tale first appears in the drawings and only then Sven writes the text. Nordkvisn’s mischievous and slightly sad illustrations do not leave readers indifferent. You want to look at them again and again. And Nordkvist’s fairy tales themselves bring goodness and give hope for the best. Contents:1. Sven Nordkvist: Birthday cake (Translation: V. Petrunicheva)2.
