Reviews / Votes
"Lagercrantz's superb writing in Marshall's translation is touching and amusing without being saccharine. . . . Eriksson's black-and-white illustrations add important emotional resonance. . . . Another sterling early chapter book by this duo."-starred, Kirkus Reviews "Few books capture the strength and subtlety of children's emotions as honestly as those in the Dani series. . . . [T]his beginning chapter book is an inviting choice for group sharing or independent reading."-BooklistMore details
