Description

For children pre-school to age 11 (adults will also enjoy reading it aloud to their children). Humorous, fascinating fiction about a struggling but enterprising family with 7 children that works together to build a wooden, horse-drawn trailer, giving up their cramped apartment to travel around Sweden selling saucepans. Imaginative, funny, and well-written, Saucepan Journey gives young readers insight into a close-knit family that remains supportive in an economic crisis and together achieves a solution through sacrifice and entrepreneurism. Each of the 7 children in the book has a unique, engaging personality - young readers will identify with at least one of them. Reading level is approx. 4th grade.
