Translated by Elisabeth Kallick Dyssegaard.
First published (in Sweden) in 1972, these welcome imports attest that preschoolers are much the same whatever the decade. In Good Night, an ever-smiling, pipe-smoking cartoon dad patiently indulges his wide-awake son's stall tactics. In Tricky, Daddy attempts to read the newspaper and mind Alfie at the same time. The colorful mixed-media artwork exudes a homey, vaguely retro charm. Reviews covers these titles: Good Night, Alfie Atkins and Very Tricky, Alfie Atkins.
