Reviews for Findus Plants Meatballs

[datrappert · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Farmer and his talking cat have a difficult time keeping hens, cows, etc. (who also talk) out of a newly planted garden. This is part of a long series of books by Swedish author Nordqvist. If you like an old-fashioned story with old-fashioned illustrations, you should be entertained. I'm on the fence--an ironic place to be since this book is about the lack of effective ones!

Sverige, ude på landet, ca 1990Katten Findus bor hos den gamle Peddersen. Katten har tøj på og kan tale med Peddersen og fungerer i det hele taget som var den et opvakt lille barn.I denne historie holder forsøger Peddersen at holde skik på køkkenhaven. Men først render hønsene ind og roder frøene op og så kommer Gustafsens gris og æder de nysatte kartofler. Findus har sat en frikadelle og vogter den selv om natten, så han er den første der opdager at Andersens seks køer tramper rundt i køkkenhaven. Peddersen bliver helt panikslagen, men med Findus' hjælp får de køerne ud af køkkenhaven. Og så må naboerne ellers til at få fikset deres hegn.Sød lille historie.

Too funny! Pettson/Festus may be an old man, but his determination to have a garden, despite marauding neighbor livestock and other challenges, is inspirational. I got exhausted just reading about the adventures!

Very funny book which ends rather abruptly, as books written by illustrators sometimes do, but a lot of fun with hilarious illustrations. Adorable, with a very wacky cat.
