Ett väldigt bra litet djur

by Emi Gunér

Simon Jonsson fyller snart 8 år. Han har utstående öron, två systrar och en ärkefiende. Mest av allt önskar han sig ett eget husdjur. Det kan han tyvärr glömma, säger hans föräldrar.

Tillsammans med sin bäste vän Ville försöker Simon komma på en riktigt bra plan för att komma över sin djurlängtan. Kanske det är lika roligt att ha en köttätande växt som att ha ett husdjur? Det finns bara ett sätt att ta reda på det.

This is an ok book about an eight year old boy hoping to get a pet as a birthday present. When he doesn't get what he wishes he and his best friend save up money to buy a carnivorous plant, since it's the closest thing he will get to ever having a pet. Once he has the plant it gets boring after a couple weeks and he wishes he could get a proper pet again. It reminded me a little of Ceder's Sally books, except I like those better. The kids don't gravitate towards this book, I think it looks a little too childish for the kids who can read it and it's too much text for the kids who would be interested in it. So, I think it would work well as a read aloud book. Or it just needs a good book talk! I thought it was a bit rambley and disjointed, and that it could have been split into different books. As a whole it's funny and cute and about everything: family, friendship, bullies, economy and pets.
