Soda Pop by Barbro Lindgren

Soda Pop by Barbro Lindgren

Soda Pop loves bright orange clothes and wears a tea cozy on his head. He has brought up his son Mazarin on sweet buns and love. Grandfather Dartanyong emerges from his woodshed every morning with a new identity, and Great-grandfather has moved into a tree, eats birdseed, and thinks he is a cuckoo. Theirs is a carefree life, untroubled by social norms. In this tolerant world anything can happen-is the garage suddenly full of tigers? We are not surprised. An anarchic story full of playful nonsense, in which the usual rules and prejudices do not exist.

“There’s a sublime sort of craziness to it that catches me unawares every timeNeither Soda Pop nor Mazarin nor Dartanyong speaks a single word of sense, but they will be my friends for life.” -- Astrid Lindgren, author of Pippi Longstocking
"A whimsical, lighthearted, unique reading experience" -- School Library Journal (US)
"… deliciously diverting." -- Kirkus Reviews
