Knutte’s House/Knuttes hus

Knutte is tired of his mother’s nagging and decides to move to a house where it’s more peaceful. Once there, Knutte goes out and sits on the step and dreams that a cat will arrive: and it does! Then a dog turns up, and then a pig, a rhinoceros and a procession of other animals. All of them want to live with Knutte, but how many is there room for? And how long will Knutte cope without his mother?

Knutte’s House is an irresistible picture book by two of Sweden’s most beloved picture book creators, who between them have created books adored by generations of younger readers.
