by Inge Nilsson.
My uncle claims that his best friend is a fly. I am pretty sure that he hasn't?!?
Every time my uncle comes visiting he has a new story to tell about what he and Pelle has been up to since last time. We don't believe him of course!
The idea behind the book is to create a pleasurable attitude towards storytelling with the child, having the adult narrator leading the way. After the story the child might look curiously on living creatures; small as well as big. It would be great if you could find the inspiration to continue the story. A start could be to switch the sounds off in the program.
"My friend Pelle" is the first, and so far the only, book about Pelle. It tells the story about how Pelle and my uncle went to Thailand.
Excerpt
– Dear. Please go fetch the swat! There are flies everywhere!
– Allright!
– Be careful! Not him. It is Pelle, my friend.
– Which one?
– Don't you recognise him? He is so nice that you mustn't hit him.
– But?!? Everyone looks the same.
– No. Pelle has big eyes and blue pants.
