'The charming fable was published in Sweden in 1930, and its vintage feel is positively refreshing.'-- Kirkus Reviews'This charming little fairytale with a true vintage feel ... A lovely little book, with simple illustrations, a combination of drawing and watercolors. Perhaps a book youll never grow out of.-- Littlescandinavian.com'The story is enchanting and Beskow's illustrations are gorgeous.'-- smilinglikesunshine blog'This is a sweet little story with simple, but lovely illustrations. The themes of independence, triumphing over adversity, and keep ones cool in the face of disaster are great for shared storytime. The fairytale aspects of the setting will delight children who want to believe in gnomes and little spirits, and the poise with which the mother picks up the remains of her burnt-out life and makes the best of it is something I shall aspire to when things are higgledey-piggeldy in my life.'--playingbythebook.com'The Children of Hat Cottage uses simple, yet quirky illustrations and words to best effect, this story is one most children will identify with because it is all about three children's good intentions turning unintentionally into mayhem.'--Early Years Educator'Elsa Beskow's illustrations are as wonderful as always. There is good reason for Swedes loving her books so much I'm really pleased that someone -- in this case Floris Books -- decided to publish Elsa Beskow's books for a new and wider audience.'-- Bookwitch'This book is so adorable, it became a new family favorite right away. What a sweet and heartwarming story!'-- Fill Your House With Books (Instagram)
