vestergaard's review against another edition
2.0
Maybe it is because I did not read this one as a kid, a therefore the book do not have a sentimental meaning to me, but I just think Karlsson is mean and selfish, not a good friend atall.

Classic. Troublemaker. Swedish.
Story: In this third book in the series, a reward has been offered to give information regarding the Flying object in the city. Midge and his family are worried, as the newspaper means Karlson! But Karlson doesn't mind. He is too busy stealing oatmeal, peaches and throwing water balloons out the window.
Characters: Midge, Karlson and his family are back, along with Uncle Julius and Miss Black. Also returning are the two burglars, Filly and Folly.
Language: This is a juvenile level book, with large font and many black and white illustrations throughout. The story and formula follow the first book. Karlson continues his invented words and songs and Swedish culture shines through the book.
It's no Peppi but younger readers will enjoy the series.
