The Gobbler
The Gobbler
Jonna Björnstjerna, illustrated by Jonna BjörnstjernaWhy are kids not allowed to eat sweets every day? Why can they only eat sweets on Saturday?
Because it’s the only day in the week when THE GOBBLER sleeps. On any other day the monster will come and take away children who eat sweets!
But can this really be true? Lillebror Rabbit’s daddy insists that it is. But Father Rabbit helps himself from the bag of sweets in the middle of the week, and no sweetie monster appears. Lillebror suspects that the monster is just something the adults have made up!
When father leaves the kitchen, Lillebror goes over to the sweetie cupboard and climbs up. He breathes in the wonderful smell of sweets, hesitates for a moment, then pops a sweet into his mouth…
But then, oh no, a pair of long, long arms reach out into the kitchen and grab hold of Lillebror – it’s the Gobbler!
