The Party

Josefine Sundström, illustrated by Mervi Lindman

Welcome to the first part of a new picture book series that stimulates language development and encourages wordplay.

Today is Dam-Dam’s birthday. Granny is coming to visit, and Dam-Dam is getting a cake with berries and cream, and presents: a drum and a toy dog on a lead.

HUFF, PUFF! Dad is blowing up lots of balloons – big, red, and round! Dam-Dam runs and tries to catch the balloons. BANG! BANG! BANG! Some of them burst.

Together with Dam-Dam, phrases and ideas are presented with rhyme and rhythm and include fun words for children to copy. Mervi Lindman’s beautiful picture narrative depicts Dam-Dam’s birthday celebration in a lively and expressive way.
