The tiny great world of the dressing-Gown creature

Morgenkåpedyrets lille, store verden

The dressing-gown creature lives in a canopy bed. He likes sleeping till noon and has also a weakness for wild strawberries and chocolate cake. He has three best friends: Lodar, Beisan and Toto-deidei.

Lodar has many books and aims to be the most clever person in the world. Beisan likes to keep everything neat and tidy, while Toto-deidei is a happy, scatterbrained creature, who lives in an old car. One day Piggdyret shows up. He is rather sinister and cross and does not want to be friends with anyone.

The arrival of new friends makes everything much more exciting and frightening, but luckily also much more fun. Because Piggdyret is not the only one who has joined the world of the four friends …

Morgenkåpedyrets lille, store verden is an imaginative, fully illustrated book for reading aloud aimed at children aged five and older.
