Ja, visst är det roligt i Bullerbyn! Lisa och Lasse och Bosse och Britta och Anna och Olle leker sina glada lekar, klättrar i berg, jagar uroxar, matar lammungar, fångar kräftor, sover i skogen om natten och dansar kring midsommarstången när sommaren kommer till Bullerbyn. "Jag tycker synd om alla som inte bor i Bullerbyn", säger Anna. Det är bara när hon och Anna ska passa Olles lillasyster som det kan vara lite besvärligt.

It breathes happiness. Good stuff to read together with a child. ( )

Noisy Village is the name given to a group of three farm houses due to the ruckus created by the six children who live there. Lisa, who is nine years old, narrates the fun and adventures she and her brothers and friends have all throughout the year. Woven within the story are a number of Swedish traditions such as dancing around the Mid-summer Eve pole. I first read this as a child but still loved the humor of situations and the personalities of the children upon reading it as an adult. ( )

Oh, oh how darling. Yes they're good and sweet children, but not saccharine or implausible. They get into little mischiefs - and even have little sulks, like healthy, beloved, well-raised children naturally would. I'm such a fan-girl of Lindgren. My only 'complaint' here is that the children are ages 9-11 but they are drawn more like 6-8 and in some ways have characteristics of children younger than they are, too. ( )

Another one of my all time favorites. I like it so much because it has funny parts and usually isn't scary but is still interesting. A girl named Lisa is the main character and narrates the book. She lives in the middle of 3 houses people call Noisy Village because with all these kids are running around and like all kids do... making noise. She and her best friend Anna have adventures along with the other kids of Noisy Village. People who will like this book probably like books about kids and the olden days. ( )
