This book is for mothers, fathers, grandparents, teachers, child care givers, aunts, uncles, and anyone connected with a young child who is curious about the world. Along with Findus, Pettson, and the Muckles, you can discover things to do for every season; pottering, collecting, fixing, crafting, building, exploring, baking, sometimes outdoors, sometimes indoors. Findus, Food, and Fun offers a whole year’s worth of ideas. Inspired by Sven Nordqvist’s ingenious illustrations, this craft and activity book will get you up and active. Illustrated in full color throughout
Sven Nordqvist
Sven Nordqvist is a leading Swedish children's illustrator and writer. Nordqvist was born in Helsingborg and grew up in Halmstad, Sweden. He originally wanted to be an illustrator but was rejected by several art schools. Instead, he studied architecture in Lund and worked as a lecturer in architecture in the university. Meanwhile, he looked for work as an illustrator of advertisements, posters, and picture books. In 1983, he won first prize in a children's book competition and since then has worked exclusively as an author and illustrator of children's books, which have won awards in Sweden and Germany. The Findus and Pettson stories draw on his own playful adventures with his two young sons. Nordqvist's unique illustrations are inspired by his delight in everyday life.
