Synopsis
Pettson and Findus are back in this hilarious tale about camping.
When Findus finds a tent in the attic, Pettson starts imagining what it would be like to go hiking by the lake and to cook on the grill as the sun is setting. But when the hens want to join in the fun too . . . things turn out very differently than what Pettson had in mind.

About the Author
Sven Nordqvist was born in Helsingborg, Sweden. Although he studied architecture, he always wanted to be an illustrator and found work illustrating advertisements, posters, and textbooks. In 1983 he won first prize in a children’s book competition and since then has worked as an author and illustrator of children’s books. He is a renowned children’s book illustrator and writer in Sweden and across Europe. When he’s not illustrating books for children, he spends time building playgrounds, children’s play areas at hospitals, and decorations for schools. Carpentry has always been an important part of Nordqvist’s life—often reflected in the actions of his industrious character Pettson—with the central goal being the enrichment of children’s lives. The beloved Pettson and Findus stories draw, in part, on Nordqvist’s loving observations of his two sons when they were younger. His unique illustrations are inspired by the delights of everyday life.
From School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 3—A new addition to the internationally beloved series that features a toddlerlike cat and the older gentleman who cares for him. This particular adventure begins when the pair stumble upon a packed tent while looking through the attic. The ever-curious Findus asks what it is and upon receiving an answer pleads to go camping. Pettson agrees, thinking he'll enjoy a peaceful outing. Readers will thoroughly enjoy events involving some demanding chickens, a large pike, and an impulsive cat. Both characters have a distinct look. Pettson has a bulbous nose and floppy farmer's hat that suits his identity as a kindly guardian and inventor of funny contraptions. By contrast, Findus's energetic and often silly actions really stand out. Readers will easily locate Findus in his green overalls and beanie even in busy scenes. Each page offers vibrant colors and lush details to pore over. Items such as like the hidden fairy creatures and Pettson's cluttered home flesh out the characters and world beyond the simple text. VERDICT Young readers will be charmed by this book's quirky elements and engaging characters.—Rachel Forbes, Oakville Public Library, Ont.
