Pom and Pim go outside. Its hot. The sun is shining. What luck!
Pom and Pims day is full of ups and downs, and luck both good and bad. Is eating a huge ice cream truly a good idea? Is it really bad luck that its raining? Or is it good luck...?
A wonderfully simple story told with few words, unique illustrations, humour, and heart.

Olof Landstrm was born in Sweden in 1943. He now lives in Stockholm, Sweden, and is the illustrator of many children's books including Pom and Pim.
PreS-Gr 1—In this Swedish import, Pom and his stuffed companion Pim (a potato with arms and legs, perhaps?) have a day that goes from good luck to bad and repeats until good luck is the end result. A sunny day—good luck; falling—bad luck; finding cash on the ground and buying an ice cream—good luck; getting a tummy ache and having to lay down—bad luck; finding a random balloon above your bed (where the heck did that balloon come from?)—good luck, and so on. The story follows the pattern found in Jeff Mack's Good News Bad News (2012) and Ah Ha (2013, both Chronicle), Remy Charlip's Fortunately (S. & S., 1984), and Michael Foreman's Fortunately, Unfortunately (Andersen, 2011), only with a few simple sentences thrown in for good measure. The uncrowded illustrations have plenty of white space, so one can focus on the action and on Pom's spot-on expressions. In fact, words are barely necessary to convey the story. Read along with the above mentioned titles for a roller coaster of a storytime.—Catherine Callegari, Gay-Kimball Library, Troy, NH
