Summary: Disappointing - Be Warned: Blows the Whistle on Santa!
Comment: Couldn't be more disappointed. To start with the illustrations are disturbing. Both my girls commented that the people looked scary. They all have black holes for eyes. YIKES. We didn't feel connected to or any warmth towards Lotta or any of the other characters. Worst of all, they blow the whistle on Santa (and the Easter Bunny for those who do that one). Considering all the accolades Astrid Lindgren gets for her books, I thought this would be a sure winner. Boy was I wrong. I plan on unloading this book at the nearest Goodwill as soon as possible.

Summary: Disappointing - Be Warned: Blows the Whistle on Santa!
Comment: I'm utterly disappointed. To begin with the photos are rather disturbing. My girls thumbed through the pages and both said "the people look scary" Throughout the story everyone depicted has black holes for eyes. I also agree with the critics comments that no connection is made with characters. And most disappointing: half way through the story, I had to modify the words because it blows the secret about Santa Clause. I'm into preserving childhood and the wonderful fantasies that go along with that. Reality happens soon enough. I was completely caught off guard and thank goodness one of my girls can't read yet, and the other wasn't trying because our magical Yule celebration would have been blown. I'm unloading this book as soon a I can.

Summary: another book featuring plucky little lotta
Comment: for all the lotta fans out there, this is a must have book. once again our plucky heroine saves the day when the easter bunny can't make it in time for the egg hunt. the plot line includes some wonderful swedish easter customs and is delightful to read. my two children love all the lotta stories and this is one of their favorites; they ask for it quite often. another wonderful feature are the watercolors by our favorite illustrator ilon wikland. all around a highly recommended book, a real treat for the eyes and the heart!
