Findus has drawn a picture for Pettson. But where is Pettson? Findus asks everyone he meets, but nobody seems to know—not the hens, not the cows, and not even the muckles. How will Findus find Pettson?

Suitable for children from age one or two to four years, this board book is brightly illustrated with lively and lovable characters. As with other Findus books in the series, it follows the adventures and misdemeanors of the mischievous Findus the Cat and Farmer Pettson, along with their muckle friends.

In their vibrant storylines, the Findus books gently approach personal and social issues that the characters learn to overcome with humor and playfulness.

(Ages 1–5 years)

Sven Nordqvist

Sven Nordqvist is a leading Swedish children's illustrator and writer. Nordqvist was born in Helsingborg and grew up in Halmstad, Sweden. He originally wanted to be an illustrator but was rejected by several art schools. Instead, he studied architecture in Lund and worked as a lecturer in architecture in the university. Meanwhile, he looked for work as an illustrator of advertisements, posters, and picture books. In 1983, he won first prize in a children's book competition and since then has worked exclusively as an author and illustrator of children's books, which have won awards in Sweden and Germany. The Findus and Pettson stories draw on his own playful adventures with his two young sons. Nordqvist's unique illustrations are inspired by his delight in everyday life.
