(1) PS Translated by Julia Marshall. Illustrated by Olof Landström. "Pom and Pim are going out. It's warm. The sun is shining. What luck!" But Pom trips and falls on a piece of paper--which turns out to be money. Small adventures ensue, alternating good and bad luck. The brief text and droll ink and watercolor illustrations focus on small-child Pom and inanimate sidekick Pim, working together brilliantly to bring out the situational humor.
