Some subjects are so frightening that there is a de facto taboo on mentioning them at all. I understand, for example, that before Ibsen tackled the subject of hereditary syphilis in Ghosts, people refused even to talk about it, and the play prompted an outcry. In this book, Gunilla Bergström bravely describes what a small child's birthday party is really like. There is a myth, possibly created by excessive use of rose-tinted spectacles, that they are cute and fun occasions. Any parent who has organized one will know that this is a lie of Holocaust-denier proportions. They are soul-destroying events that are, in most cases, survivable. And, of course, they are socially essential. It's hard to be much more positive than that.

The rest of this review is available elsewhere (the location cannot be given for Goodreads policy reasons)

När barnen bråkade och allt var huller om buller på kalaset skrattade jag högt men min dotter bara frågade "Var är Alfons då?" Det var inget riktigt nytt för henne utan att Alfons Åberg var borta! För mig är boken unik och rolig.

Gillar beskrivningen av kalaset som spårar ur. Bra budskap att man kan chilla och inte krångla till det för att glädja barn. Men anar en raljerande ton över snälla faster Fiffi och det gillar jag inte riktigt.

Szóste urodziny Alberta to wielkie wydarzenie dla jego rodziny i niego samego. Tyle, że dorośli patrzą na to zupełnie inaczej niż Albert, który najchętniej spędziłby ten dzień bawiąc się z Wiktorem i Miką, jak co dzień. Babcia planuje wielkie i gwarne przyjęcie urodzinowe, które wymaga wielu przygotowań, a w efekcie wszystko zdarza się na opak i nie do końca jest tym jedynym wymarzonym dniem dla Alberta.

We read the book in Greek language - looks like it's not yet translated in English. It's a lovely story about organizing a kids party for a 6 year old and how a kid actually enjoy better a small quiet party with his closest friends rather than bigger one with all the neighborhood kiddies... And don't we all actually? ;-)

"Kjempegøy og morsom!" kommer det fra juryen på 4 og 5 år. De bitte små kosebjørnene og kosehunden på siste side var veldig søte.
