Findus Goes Fishing by Sven Nordqvist

Findus Goes Fishing by Sven Nordqvist

I'm in a bad mood and I want to be left alone, says Pettson.

Findus the cat stares at him. He's never seen the old farmer so grumpy. I must cheer him up, he thinks. Somehow. Can't we go fishing? he says. Then you'll feel better.

But Pettson doesn't want to go fishing. It's cold and wet, and he must dig over the potato patch and chop wood.

But Findus knows how to make Pettson smile. Maybe he can get him to play instead of toiling in the soil. After all, Findus is a very unusual cat.

Findus goes Fishing is the ninth story published by Hawthorn Press about Findus the talking cat and his farmer. The series has sold more than six million books in 44 languages, and is beloved by children around the world.

(Ages 3-7 years)

Nordqvist, Sven: - Sven Nordqvist was born in Helsingborg, Sweden. Although he studied architecture, he always wanted to be an illustrator and found work illustrating advertisements, posters, and textbooks. In 1983 he won first prize in a children's book competition and since then has worked as an author and illustrator of children's books. He is a renowned children's book illustrator and writer in Sweden and across Europe. When he's not illustrating books for children, he spends time building playgrounds, children's play areas at hospitals, and decorations for schools. Carpentry has always been an important part of Nordqvist's life--often reflected in the actions of his industrious character Pettson--with the central goal being the enrichment of children's lives. The beloved Pettson and Findus stories draw, in part, on Nordqvist's loving observations of his two sons when they were younger. His unique illustrations are inspired by the delights of everyday life.
