Olof ja Lena Landström ovat tuttuja meidän perheelle lähinnä Buu ja Bää -kirjoistaan. Oli virkistävää löytää kirjastosta myös tämän kirjan suomennos, sillä olemme pitäneet kovasti Landströmien teoksista. Lasse Parturissa -kirja ei petä tässä suhteessa, vaan tarjoaa loistavia oivalluksia ja pienestä tapahtumasta suuren seikkailun!

I love this story in which Nisse goes to the hairdressers and orders a haircut that resembles a soft-ice-cone. At the school-festivity afterwards Nisse is the fashion-hero, his mother looks skeptical and the hairdresser's salon has a new special. Unfortunately the German edition is out of print (I am considering to buy the English translation).

The best of the "Will" series. So simple and pure.
