This is the most straight-forward of Lindgren's children's books. It pretty much just tells of the regular shenanigans kids on a farm will get up to throughout the year - no anarchists with a dad in the south seas, no dragons or evil men, no wild and dangerous forests. They children are very endearing, though, and as always, Lindgren has a beautiful way of describing the way children think.

One of my absolute favorites when I was a kid. I don't even know how many times I read it and I always wanted to move to Sweden while reading it. ( )
