Summary: Escaping from reality,how to wrap your troubles in dreams
Comment: Like most of Barbro Lindgrens books,The Wild Baby Gets a Puppy,can be read by both adults and children and be enterpreted in completely different ways. Maybe children will not realise the depths and the philosphical dilemmas that this book is suggesting. In most of Barbro Lindgren's books,the main theme is to escape from reality by entering your dreams and expanding your mind. In this book the wild baby is dreaming of a puppy for birthday present.When he's finally celebrating his brithday with his mother he sadly finds out that his dream about the puppy would not be fulfilled.Instead his mother gives him a puppy made out of cloth,in his anger and dissapointment the wild baby tries to shoot the dog with his wooden shotgun... But at the night of his birthday all of his "animals" wakes up and they have all become alive! They leave the house in exitement and admire the moon. And they all agree to fly there .The puppy has grown wings and off they go!The space seems to have a dream planet for all the travellers;for the giraffe, for the rabbit and for the baby.... The book is very symbolical and the way I see it,I think it wants to say that we can not find real fulfilment on this planet,the only way we can experience pleasure and fascination is to enter our own minds,it may not be easy to do so but once we have accomplished it,we will see that our minds are like the space. An endless and utterly beautiful landscape where we can get in touch with our true selves and where we can find our "dream planets". Where the ultimate ecstasies can be experienced. In this space all the compulsions of our society has completely vanished as well as our terms of "time",and I think that is essential in order to experience joy. I highly recommend this book it can be read over and over and every time it's depths will expand.
