Synopsis

Sally’s Dad thinks that Eddie and Sally are spending way too much time in front of their iPad. They ought to go out and get some fresh air instead! Because fresh air is really very healthy. Then Dad gets a genius idea: they are going on a trip to the woods, and Sally’s friend, Svend, is joining them. Dad is ace at everything “nature” – that is, if he may say so himself. The only trouble is that nature does not want to play ball the way Dad intends it.

Reviews

"Hugely entertaining " – (Information)

"Outspoken, politically incorrect and free from raised fingers and spelt buns" – (Litteratursiden)

"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)
