I appreciate the Scandinavian minimalism, but what was that? For a second, I thought this was The Three Little Pigs, but then it wasn't? What?

Visiting our daughter for her 24th birthday, my wife and I give her a picture book read aloud marathon (Book 10 of 11).

I was getting pretty sleepy at this point of the marathon, but this eerie and bizarre book snapped my eyes right open.

A pig is driving along in his car when a wolf flags him down, tells him the bridge is out ahead, and invites him to wait out the delay in his house.

Nervous chuckles were had before the ending left me shaking my head.

It gave me weird flashbacks to Conor Stechschulte's Ultrasound

Napisõnaline, kuid palju mõtteid pakkuv raamat. Kui hunt teatab seale, et too ei saa edasi sõita, sest sild on katki, ja kutsub ta endale külla, siis tekkis palju erinevaid mõtteid, kuidas lugu võiks jätkuda. Loo lõpp aga oli üllatav.
Soovitav lugeda koos lapsega. :)

I found myself a bit confused by this one, if I'm being honest. I got the feeling it was meant to be kinda sinister? But I'm not actually sure? Like, I feel like the wolves were setting the pig up to be murdered? But maybe the point was that it seemed super suspicious but ultimately wasn't? Just a big fake out? It's hard to say. I'm leaning towards sinister and dark, though.

The story is certainly thought-provoking given how short and narratively-light it is. An intriguing little read.

Jätab õhku palju küsimusi, mis ongi ehk hea võimalus kaasa mõtlemiseks ja arutamiseks, et mis värk selle sillaga siis lõpuks on. Ehk on see hoopis tegelaste vahel :D

Weird but in a good way. This translated picture book makes you think about all the strange happenings in life. And while you may be reading the book expecting a certain outcome-it is a pig meeting up with wolves after all-the outcome changes and makes you wonder about the wolves and the pig in a new way.

Väldigt snabbläst bilderbok med bara några rader text på varje sida. Går snabbt att läsa igenom och man får tänka lite på vad slutet egentligen betyder.

2 vargar påstår att bron framför är sönder och håller på att lagas. Och grisen som kör bil måste verkligen ta den vägen och har en tid att passa. Vargarna bjuder in grisen på en fika medan bron ska lagas. Första tanken är att vargarna lurar grisen för att sedan äta den. Men grisen åker därifrån efter fikat utan några skador.

I slutet får vi reda på att det aldrig existerade någon bro utan det är bara något vargarna säger för att få lite sällskap då dem förmodligen känner sig ensama ute i skogen.

I don’t get this book. A pig is driving through the woods and gets stopped by a wolf who says the bridges is out, come over to my place. The pig really needs to get across this bridge, but the pig goes to the home of the wolf and meets the wolfs Spouse. They have a conversation about the painting in the house, and about being lonely in the woods. Then the pig leaves. They get to the river and there’s no bridge. There never was a bridge. So why did the wolf stop the pig. It doesn’t make sense. It feels like part of the story is missing. The artwork is okay but it’s all done at a distance and the wolf and the pig are so very small that a lot of this looks like a children’s painting. I didn’t enjoy this book and I don’t think kids would either because it feels undone.

Een wonderlijk, gelaagd prentenboek over een wolf die een varkentje uitnodigt voor een kopje koffie bij hem thuis. Met onheilspellende details op de illustraties speelt Eva Lindström, in vertaling van Mijke Hadewey van Leersum - slim in op het verwachtingspatroon en de vooroordelen van de lezer. Een verrassend boek dat aan het denken zet. Uitgegeven bij Clavis, vanaf 5 jaar en ouder.

Det är ju kul att läsa kommentarerna om denna bok. Jag känner mig också förvirrad men på ett bra sätt. Med mina vuxna ögon handlar boken om mina egna fördomar (små rosa intet ont anande grisar är offer som äts upp av elaka vargar). Fördomarna ger boken mer djup - för visst kommer grisen att bli uppäten?
Nej, det kan vara så att även vargar kan känna sig lite ensamma ibland och bara vill ha lite gäster som bryter vardagen. Men det är ju fel att ljuga? Hade grisen trevligt ändå? Hur ofta är denna ”bro” avstängd egentligen?
Underbart!

Het grappige aan dit boek is dat het een cliché verhaal lijkt. De Wolf en het varkentje, maar het krijgt een andere wending. Echter spreekt het boek me toch niet aan. De illustraties zijn flets en alsof ze door een kind zijn getekend.

This Swedish import is just a little unsettling (in a good way!) cryptic, and abrupt.

A pig is looking to cross a bridge. Wolves offer hospitality.

And the bridge? Perhaps the real bridge is the friends we make along the way ;)

I work at a library, and my colleagues that do the children’s programs were losing their minds over this and made everyone in the workroom read it. Best described as “Baby’s first existential horror”

Mind-bending.
I'm sitting here thinking, Just really what was that all about?

Napisõnalise veidi absurdliku tekstiga, ägeda illustratsiooniga, lasteraamatu alatooniga, kuid suurt inimest muigama panev lugu, mis meeldis ka meie 3-aastasele ;)

Laheda absurdiga lugu. Ümber jutustada ei tahakski, aga lugedes tekkis selline mõnus avarus.

What a curious, wonderful book! It's one of those sparse-yet-complex books that kept my kids and I talking long after we finished reading it. Friend or foe? Imaginary or real?

Sinister and mysterious. Was there ever a bridge? Where is the pig going? What do the wolves intend? Is the bird a reliable source of information?

Beetje spannend, maar uiteindelijk best grappig boek! De illustraties vind ik niet zo.

What even was that? I know it was bizarre. And creepy. It made me laugh nervously and it surprised me so I guess I liked it?
