Possibly the best children's story I have ever seen about charity.Flicka, Ricka and Dicka's mother is ready for canning, but does not know what fruit to use. The girls decide they should pick strawberries. Their mother tells them it is a good idea and will pay them for each basket they fill.The girls go out the next morning but the quest for strawberries takes them far from home. Tired and thirsty they try to return home and discover they are lost. They find a cottage and ask for help. There they meet a very friendly and helpful family (mother, daughter and baby boy). The girls notice that while everything is clean, all the clothes are patched. The girl helps them get home after they have had a drink of water (sometimes there is not enough milk for the baby).When the girls are paid for their work, they decide that they really have all they need and decide to spend their coins on the helpful family. Canned strawberries, a dress for the girl and a teddy bear for the boy are bought and taken to the family.Each pair of pages has the story on one side and a painted illustration by the author on the other. Check out all of the Flicka, Ricka, Dicka books. Fans of this one may want to check out Snipp, Snapp, Snurr and the Yellow Sled.
I have fond memories of reading this book on the floor of the public library. "The Strawberries" was my favorite, but all the Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka books are cute picture books for young children.
Wonderful selection in the Flicka, Ricka and Dicka series! I have purchased this for all grandchildren -- one is now a college student and the least one is two. They all love it. The 50 year old daughter still remembers it with affection, as do I, when my German Mother borrowed it from the library. As a librarian, I purchased most of the books in the series for each library, be it children's or elementary. Even the boys liked the triplets including Snipp, Snapp and Snurr!.
I searched for these books for years after reading them as a little girl during the 70's. What a joy it has been to re-read them with my own girls. This particular book is the favorite in the series of my older daughter.The Sweedish triplets demonstrate ingenuity, compassion, independence, and an adventuresome spirit.
Flicka, Ricka, Dicka books have been republished. The classic Swedish stories from the 1930s bring wonderful tales of three Swedish sisters and their adventures together. Charming and always have a sweet lesson. Classic drawings will make it fun to read and discuss with children of this generation.
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.
I'm always reading lists of recommended books for young learners and recently I discovered the vintage series of Flick, Ricka, Dicka. Blessedly I have just recently started reading and reviewing books for Albert Whitman & Co and they are known for great vintage books and a currently released series includes Flick, Ricka, Dicka. My first read is Flicka, Ricka, Dicka and the Strawberries. Originally published in 1946 and recently published for 2013. These are a nice jacket-less hardcover books in a great 10x8" size. Definitely quality and I believe they will last a very long time.I had no idea what to expect, but after reading Flicka, Ricka, Dicka and the Strawberries I am an instant fan and wouldn't hesitate to add the entire series to my shelves and recommend it to others. It is vintage and full of moral character. The triplets are swedish which given my husband's heritage will make these books even more precious to my girls over the years with repeat readings I'm sure.This story is sweet and I even found myself teary eyed. In setting and character it reminds me of Heidi. The way these girls take fun and promise and turn it into a blessing to others is exactly the type of example I'd like to present to my girls in story time.*Thanks to Albert Whitman & Co for providing a copy for review.*
I love Flicka, Ricka, Dicka and so do my kids, but this one is a disappointment. The girls meet an older man, and on their own, with their mother unaware of their whereabouts, they go in his house and spend time with him. I'm sure this was very innocent at the time it was written, but it doesn't hold up well for modern audiences. I don't want my kids to think it's ok for them to go in a stranger's house without my knowledge. After buying it, I decided not to give it to my kids.
