Toughie Tora is going camping with her dad. He’s only interested in the birds, but she’s inclined to see wild animals – plus ants, trolls and the occasional fairy – until the final pages. The author’s mother, Astrid Lindgren award-winning illustrator Eva Eriksson, whimsically integrates imaginary creatures into real-life landscapes.
Parents In Touch (UK), February 2014 –
The delicate illustrations echo the feel of the book beautifully and give lots to look at and discuss.
