(1) K-3 Translated by Elisabeth Kallick Dyssegaard. Despite Grandma's warnings, young pig Molly (Molly Goes Shopping) keeps crashing into things on her bike. When she crashes into a driving instructor, he sees Molly's problem: she's staring at what she's trying to avoid, instead of looking ahead. Eriksson's colored-pencil drawings skillfully express Molly's emotions through her elastic-limbed body language and, particularly, through her eyes.

(2) K-3 Translated by Elisabeth Kallick Dyssegaard. Molly the pig walks to the store by herself, but once there, she gets a bit flustered and misremembers the order. Within this charming middle-class animal neighborhood, rendered in grainy colored pencils, Eriksson imbues her precocious piglet with a range of recognizable emotions and behaviors. In the end, the milestone of a first solo outing is successfully met, thanks to Grandma's encouragement and Molly's youthful enthusiasm.
