Detective Gordon—a mystery-solving toad who loves cake—keeps an eye out for the weaker inhabitants of his woods. The books are full of warm, witty wisdom from one of Sweden’s foremost children’s authors, Ulf Nilsson. The text is affectionately and generously illustrated in watercolour and pencil by acclaimed Dutch illustrator Gitte Spee.
This is a detective series with depth—perfect for reading alone, wonderful for reading aloud.
