(1) PS Translated by Elisabeth Kallick Dyssegaard. Illustrated by Olof Landstrom. The young pig from Benny's Had Enough wants a brother. "And then he got one." Benny tires of the baby's screaming, and he isn't even allowed to try the baby's pacifier. While Mama's busy, he stashes the baby by the front door and takes off with binky in mouth. Lindgren sketches character, story, and mood with a few succinct phrases. The illustrations expand the slightly absurd narrative with great expression, movement, and detail.
