I received this book from my parents for my 11th birthday (many years ago) and this past Christmas I bought one for my 7 year old son, whose favorite characters are Ninja Turtles and Pokemons. We have read this book together during quiet Christmas time and now he doesn't go to sleep without reading at least one chapter from it. He says: "It makes me feel warm inside, mommy, and I feel happy." The book shows how simple things in life (baking cookies, going to school, pulling tooth out...) can become extraordinary adventures for children. Moreover, each and every child can relate to the children from Noisy Village. Astrid Lindgren is a real writing magician. I cannot wait for her other books to be published.

The series of "Noisy Village" was the X'mas gift given to me 20 years ago. My dad picked up the books and signed with "To My Daughter of Noisy Village ... From Father in Quiet Village". I enjoyed all the stories. I enjoyed the beautiful illustrations too. Someday, I thought, I'd go visit this tiny village of three houses and a bunch of kids with my mom, dad and my baby sister. 20 years has passed and my parents still keep the books for me in their house - I wanted to take the books when I moved but my new place did not have any extra room - and everytime I come visit my parents I never forget to visit the Noisy Village too.

a perfect seqel to The Children Of Noisy Village . It has the same heartwarming feel. The children are back hilariusly running through the year . Whether its producing a Cherry Company , Joking a perfect April fools day ,Or making tunnels in the Hay , If you loved the children of noisy village I am positive you will love this just as much.

This is the best book I've ever read to my daughter. It's so well written that I often laugh out loud while reading it. The children are funny and lovable and the story is never boring, yet it's not scary or violent either. My daughter is four and we've often lamented together that there are no more Noisy Village books (this being the second book, after "The Children of Noisy Village"). .The characters are so likable and real. My daughter has often said she would like to live in Noisy Village and truth be told, I would too. She's almost six now, and she still loves this book.

Terrific children's stories from a terrific and well-known author, Astrid Lindgren. The unhurried narration from a perspective of a child has a very genuine and heart-warming quality. Even today's kids, used to the fantasy action movies and games, slow down and just enjoy. Real happiness is the ultimate fantasy.

An entertaining story of childhood in early 20th century Sweden. Written from a seven-year old girl's point of view, it chronicles simple, everyday life in rural Sweden. Adults are minor characters, with the main characters being three boys and three girls from the three farms that cluster into "Noisy Village". This book is suitable for both boys and girls and is in the same vein as Hilda van Stockum's Mitchell series and Bantry Bay series, though the books are much shorter. Also similar to the Little House books. A good addition to a family library. Good for read-aloud or personal reading.

These books are great for read-alouds or for early readers. My daughter LOVES the characters and tries to emulate them. Wholesome characters! Reminds me of Rebecca of Sunnybrook or Anne of Green Gables, but for younger ages!!
The Children of Noisy Village is wonderful too!

Love the simple, down to earth story telling. Noisy Village is full of peace, something not always present in today's tales. And the children in Noisy Village know how to have FUN. Highly recommended.
