- Press voices
"The large, beautiful pictures are full of interesting details and supplement the concise text by telling us more about the environment in which the story takes place." Kajsa Öberg, Göteborg Posten
"The first time we saw Kjelle the whole editorial team fell headlong in love. Never have I seen such a reaction with my usually so rational, experienced and professional colleagues; Oooh, they cried in unison, How adorable!" Annika Nasiell, editor, Barnens bokklubb
"Kjelle goes to doggie day care is a charming story with delightful illustrations by Mia Maria Guettler." Bokhunger
"Mia Maria Güettler’s illustrations are both beautiful and illustrative." Enn Kokk, allavibarn.blogspot.se
"I was not the only one to fall head over heels with the first book about Kjelle. The pictures are absolutely fabulous, and the story about the little dog who is so careful and anxious makes you melt totaly. The world’s best book for children who are about to start pre-school!" Barnens bokklubb
" Kjelle travels to India is irresistible, a charming description of the encounter with a different culture, suitable for small children. The language is short, clean and accurate . The illustrations by Mia Maria Guettler are colourful, detailed, and sometimes rampant." BTJ
You can see for yourselves that this is a frolic book! The ears, the floral suit, the plushy legs and the lumpy rag rugs. A lot is appealing to me, but most of all Kjelle’s ears, they are living their own life, listening and discovering with heart and soul. It is the sounds that are at focus in this book, a really good example that it is possible to make something great of the classical/boring ’what’s that growling/barking /meowing’ if you have the imagination and a happy pen.
