Synopsis

Sally and Svend are building a tree house, but Sally’s dad thinks it is totally poorly executed. They clearly need a handyman like himself. Dad throws himself head-first into the building project, and when the den is done, he is suddenly crazily eager to do more DIY. He sees possible new projects everywhere. There is not a thing in this world that Sally’s dad can’t fix. Even the things that are not really broken in the first place…

Reviews

"We didn't have any doubts about this series. We knew right away that it would be perfect for the Polish market, though we didn't expect such great success. We have trouble seeing the series as picture books, not because of the amount of text, but the format and the target reader, because it's directed at a double reader: at kids that are a bit older than the usual picture book readers and at their parents (as in the case of Shrek). I'm not sure who has more fun reading these books: parents or children?" – Katarzyna Biegańska (Polish editor at Dwukropek)
