Everyone's favorite three little Swedish girls are at it again! Their agreement to watch Mitzi the cat for Uncle Jon and Aunt Helga turns into an unexpected adventure! Our children love all the Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka books and we (their parents) love that the stories are heartwarming and wholesome, always a springboard for us to explore new things (for example Life in Sweden, what is a chimney sweeper? etc.). We highly recommend this book.
Flicka, Ricka and Dicka, the three Swedish girls, face a new form of responsibility when they are asked to watch their aunt and uncle's cat for a few days.The girls have always loved the cat and buy it milk and fish to eat. But shortly after taking responsibility, a dog scares the cat up a tree and the girls can not get it down. The next day the cat is gone and the girls search all over.When they give up and cry about their failure, their aunt and uncle return and overhear the lament. The aunt suggests that the cat went back into the house. Sure enough, the cat is there and so are three cute kittens.The girls hep take care of the three kittens and each bonds with a different one. One their next birthday, they get a special surprise from their aunt and uncle.Each pair of pages has the story on the left and a painted illustration by the author on the right. A good story and very nice illustrations. Read all of the Flicka, Ricka and Dicka books.
If you don't start a collection of Maj Lindman's Flicka, Ricka, / Snipp, Snapp, Snurr books after reading one or two, I'll be surprised. The illustrations are lovely, the stories are interesting, the children are believable and good examples. They were some of our favorites as children, our children enjoyed them, and now they're familiar friends to our grandchildren.
A neighbor introduced me to old Flicka Ricka Dicka books she had saved (favorites from her childhood) and I knew my daughter would instantly take to them. The illustrations are wonderful and the stories keep the imagination alive as you follow three, identical triplet sisters on their adventures.
Five stars for the story itself. One star for the Kindle version. The printed versions of the Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka books are charming, delightful tales of family devotion and responsibility. The Kindle formats, however, shrink each double-page spread to a single screen. This renders the text virtually unreadable and makes even the illustrations hard to see.
