A year of reading Swedish childrens books
This year, I am on a mission of sorts to read classic Swedish children’s books. I’m told by friends that it’s a very important thing to do because “I’ve missed out” and also because it’s a proper way to learn more Swedish.
Alongside childrens books, I am also being introduced to “famous” musicians, television persons and shows, and other various popculture. Yes.
First up on the books list is Jag vill hellre äta ett barn. It’s not a classic but it’s definitely adorable and for ages 3-6, it’s definitely an easy read. It’s about a tiny crocodile who one day decides that he doesn’t want to eat any more bananas, sausage, or chocolate cake; he wants to eat a child.
Second, John Bauers’ Förtrollande Sagovärld, so classic that I already know about it, and last, Det blåser på månen, which Carl Johan hasn’t read himself but he says it’s probably very important anyway. And so. Any recommendations?
I suggest you stop reading childrens books and get a job. MATE.
I can't get a job without knowing Swedish, so!
Read Loranga Loranga! A story about Loranga and his family, who has tigers in the barn and a golden room. Loranga hates work, and can only cook food if he gets to eat it.
Det blåser på månen is a great story, you should also read Momo - eller kampen om tiden
Sweet. I wish I had tigers in the barn.
Momo is already on the list! :D
My favorite is Pelle Svanslös. They're textbooks so it might take a little while for you to get to them. (also, you could read something more relevant, these are kinda old) Here's a wiki about the movie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_no_tail
Nice!
Do you have any more recommends? :D
