NOTE FROM THE EDITOR: Hey bookworms! Please enjoy a book review written by the newest addition to the I'm A Book Addict team, Mia Bunch! Let's get onto her post:) Astrid Lindgren has written various books about Swedish families, such as Lotta Leaves Home, and probably the most beloved of her works, the Pippi Longstocking books. But today I’m here to tell you about my favorite, (drumroll please!) The Children of Noisy Village! This is the my second favorite book ever and I also confess I’ve read it multiple times over so I can’t wait to share my thoughts with you! The story takes place in a sleepy Swedish village that houses 6 sneaky children by the names of Lisa, Karl, Bill, Olaf, Britta, and Anna. These children are funny, cheerful, and always ready for something to do. This delightful story runs through a whole year in the Noisy Village countryside, and like no other storyteller can, Lindgren describes Christmas, Lisa’s favorite birthday, camping under the stars in homemade tents, and 16 other chapters of vigorous fun. The chapter I enjoy the most is called Anna and I Go Shopping. When Mother asks Lisa to go shopping for her, Lisa heartily agrees. But when she can’t find a pencil to write down a list she reassures her mother that she can remember it all. In fact, she is completely confident that she can trust her brains. Just then, Anna rushes in to come shopping with her. She also went through the same “can’t find a pencil” situation, and has more groceries to remember! Lisa agrees for company. Soon, Olaf’s mother stops them and asks them to buy her some items at the shop. They even stop by Grandfather’s house to ask if he wants anything. He requests a bottle of camphor liniment. Even more groceries! In addition, all the mothers want a piece of bologna of the best quality. Can Lisa and Anna remember the mental list of groceries? Check out Chapter 18 to find out! This cheerful book about six Swedish kids weaves a inspiring saga into anybody’s heart. The Children of Noisy Village is an easy, satisfaction guaranteed read for kids in kindergarten to high-school. I absolutely recommend grabbing this timeless tale! -Mia Did you enjoy the post? Leave a comment letting us know you were visiting our blog! We love to hear from you!
