There are books that you need to read as a child. Among them are books by the famous Norwegian writer Anne-Katrina Westli. In her homeland, her name is known to everyone, and her popularity can only be compared with the popularity of Astrid Lindgren. Fortunately, Westley’s books are well known in our country. “Once upon a time there lived a big, big family: dad, mom and eight children... And with them lived a small truck, which they all loved very much. I couldn’t help but love it - after all, the truck fed the whole family!” This is how the writer introduces her characters. It talks about the life of a large family in which parents always find a common language with their children. The author does not hide the fact that she loves her characters, and her love is passed on to the readers. “Dad, Mom, Grandma, Eight Children and a Truck” is a book for family reading, in which life lessons are presented to the young reader without moralizing or edification, but with humor. p>
