This shorter edition has been specially adapted for younger children, with sturdy board pages and playful flaps and interactive elements that invite little readers to take part in the story.

Children can help search for ingredients, discover what is hiding in Sven Nordqvist’s wonderfully detailed illustrations and join Pettson and Findus on their chaotic journey toward the long-awaited pancake cake.

Please note: This book is written entirely in Swedish.

A Pettson & Findus Classic for Younger Children

The original Pannkakstårtan is one of the best-known stories about Pettson and Findus.

In this special Lilla pannkakstårtan edition, the story has been shortened and transformed into a sturdy board book designed especially for younger readers.

The familiar illustrations and humor remain, but children can now become part of the adventure by opening flaps, searching through the pictures and helping Findus and Pettson along the way.

The Story

Findus loves birthdays so much that he celebrates them three times a year – and of course a birthday calls for a pannkakstårta, a Swedish pancake cake.

Pettson sets out to make one for his cat, but they soon discover that they are missing flour.

Getting more flour should be easy.

Except Pettson needs his bicycle.

The bicycle needs repairing.

The tools are locked away.

And before long, what should have been a simple baking project turns into a wonderfully complicated Pettson & Findus adventure.

In this interactive version, young readers can even help search for the flour, join Findus as he prepares for an encounter with the bull, and look for the mischievous little mucklor hiding among the illustrations.

Interactive Flaps to Explore

Lilla pannkakstårtan is more than a story to listen to.

The interactive elements encourage children to explore the pages, look closely at the illustrations and participate in what is happening.

Little readers can:

• Open and explore flaps

• Search for objects

• Look for hidden mucklor

• Follow Findus through the adventure

• Discover details in the illustrations

• Enjoy the story together with an adult

The sturdy board-book format also makes it well suited to small hands and repeated reading.

Sven Nordqvist's Wonderful World

Sven Nordqvist's Pettson & Findus books are famous for their incredibly detailed illustrations.

There is often much more happening in the pictures than in the main story itself – tiny creatures, peculiar inventions and unexpected details can be discovered throughout the scenes.

That makes Lilla pannkakstårtan particularly fun to return to again and again, because young readers may notice something new each time.

Pettson and Findus have been entertaining children and adults for generations, and this smaller interactive edition introduces their wonderfully eccentric world to an even younger audience.

The interactive flaps add another layer of fun and encourage children to participate instead of simply listening to the story.
