About this product
Product Information
A classic picture book from Pippi Longstocking-creator Astrid Lindgren. One beautiful spring day in Sweden, Goran the bull charges furiously out of his stall and into the farmyard. People gather from miles around to see the angry animal, but no one can calm him down. Then Karl, the farm boy, has a brave idea. Can the little boy save the day? A charming, traditional story from Astrid Lindgren, bestselling author of Pippi Longstocking, with illustrations from acclaimed Swedish artist Marit Tornqvist. Nostalgic illustrations of wooden houses, characterful villagers and silver birch trees wonderfully evoke the spirit of a Swedish farm from long ago.

'This story has a touching message about kindness and not underestimating people.' - Kindling Praise for previous edition: 'Lindgren's affection for Karl warms the tale of his heroism.' - Kirkus Reviews Praise for Now that Night is Near: 'A Swedish Goodnight Moon.' - Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review Praise for Marit Tornqvist: 'A celebration of childhood and friendship, replete with imagination, ambition, and even a bit of mischief ... Touching, memorable, exquisite.' - Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review for Wake Up, Let's Play, 'Earth-toned watercolors and a sense of restrained humor conjure a barnyard perplexity in The Fearless Little Farm Boy, a beguiling picture book written by Astrid Lindgren... In this satisfying and beautifully illustrated tale, a clever child subdues an angry bull faster with gentleness than with force.' The Wall Street Journal 'This story has a touching message about kindness and not underestimating people.' Kindling 'The earthy watercolor illustrations are just beautiful.'Youth Services Book Reviews, STARRED REVIEW Praise for previous edition: 'Lindgren's affection for Karl warms the tale of his heroism.' - Kirkus Reviews Praise for Now that Night is Near: 'A Swedish Goodnight Moon.' - Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review Praise for Marit Tornqvist: 'A celebration of childhood and friendship, replete with imagination, ambition, and even a bit of mischief ... Touching, memorable, exquisite.' - Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review for Wake Up, Let's Play, 'Lindgren's affection for Karl warms the tale of his heroism.' -- Kirkus Reviews 'The charm and success of this traditional tale lie in Lindgren's masterful storytelling. Toernqvist's delicate, expressive watercolors accentuate the personalities of the farm folk and add suspense to Goran's plight. The artist's clever use of the endpapers to show a line of villagers looking apprehensively toward the story beckons readers just as effectively as Lindgren's words. The message that simple kindness is often an act of extraordinary bravery makes this a must for most collections.' -- School Library Journal 'Children will delight in the story of how one Easter Day, Goran the bull broke free in an angry rampage only to be tamed by Karl, a seven-year-old boy.' -- Creative Steps 'A low key story, in contrast to the lively style of many current picture books, Goran's Great Escape invites the reader in ('Let's find out what happened') and asks to be shared by child and adult The watercolour illustrations have a cool Nordic feel, capturing a time and place that is past but not dated. The landscape format of the pages is well-used with events strung over double-page spreads in some instances and in others vignettes on the verso point to what is happening in a larger illustration on the recto. Delightful.' -- Valerie Coghlan, Books for Keeps 'The delightful illustrations make you feel as if you were actually there!' -- Tammy Dolling 'Illustrations, in translucent water based paints in earthly hues, are masterly. 'The design of the layout, with the necessity to integrate a long text with the images, is exemplary.' -- Jane Doonan, School Librarian, Praise for previous edition: 'Lindgren's affection for Karl warms the tale of his heroism.' - Kirkus Reviews Praise for Now that Night is Near 'A Swedish Goodnight Moon.' - Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review Praise for Marit Tornqvist: 'A celebration of childhood and friendship, replete with imagination, ambition, and even a bit of mischief ...

Rural life and Sweden come alive in a tale that is perfect for read-aloud discussion about community involvement and problem-solving, with appealing illustrations adding to a story that will especially attract libraries looking for tales set in European nations.' --Midwest Book Review Praise for previous edition: 'Lindgren's affection for Karl warms the tale of his heroism.' --Kirkus Reviews Praise for Now that Night is Near: 'A Swedish Goodnight Moon.' --Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review Praise for Marit Tornqvist: 'A celebration of childhood and friendship, replete with imagination, ambition, and even a bit of mischief ...
