Flicka Ricka and Dicka Learn Doing the Right Thing,
By
This review is from: Flicka, Ricka, Dicka and the Little Dog (Paperback)
Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka, the three Swedish girls, find a stray dog in this story and fall in love.Their mother tells them they must try and find the dogs owner. They check the paper and find a notice about a lost dog that sounds like the one they found. Sadly, the girls go with their mother to return the dog. The dog belongs to a gruff orchard owner and the girls are heartbroken to leave it. But the next morning, the dog is back. The girls must go through the pain of returning the dog yet again. But this time when they return the dog, the farmer doesn't want it back. He has gotten himself a new and bigger dog. If the little dog wants to keep running to them, then they can keep it. Even though it was hard to do, the three girls did the right thing and wound up being rewarded for their good deeds. Each pair of pages has the story on one side and an illustration painted by the author on the other. Be sure to read the other Flicka Ricka Dicka books (and check out Snipp Snapp and Snurr while you are at it).

Good Things Come In Threes,
By Terrie (Little Chute, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flicka, Ricka, Dicka and the Little Dog (Paperback)
This charming story book was originally published in 1946. I discovered it in my grade school library in 1958 and I have loved it and its companion volumes about the triplet sisters Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka ever since. Swedish author and artist Maj Lindman created several books about the triplet sisters and also several about triplet brothers, Snipp, Snapp, anmd Snurr. Using brightly colored, very animated illustrations she brings to life a simple story and always perfectly captures the innocent heart of childhood. In this story the little triplets find a stray dog and they all fall in love. Their mother sees a notice in the paper about a missing dog and the triplets are distraught to learn he must go. A cranky old farmer can't seem to get the pup to stay put and there is a nice surprise. The bubbling personalities of the little girls are endearing, especially when we see them interacting with an elderly person. We have a lot of fun in this story when they are learning to care for the pup. This book was written at a gentler time than today but it so beautifully captures the essence of childhood that I think it will always be a treasure.

This review is from: Flicka, Ricka, Dicka and the Little Dog (Paperback)
I found the Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka books at the library and read them to my youngest, who loved them. The moral of the first one, "Flicka, Ricka, Dicka and the New Dotted Dresses," is that helping the poor is more important than new clothes. The others in the series have similar good messages while never being preachy. I got the books for my new twin granddaughters.
