review of another edition
Recommended to Bonnie by:

I enjoyed Lotta on Troublemaker Street – the follow-up story to The Children on Troublemaker Street – but suspect that I would have enjoyed it more if I had read it first. In this early edition of Lotta, the illustrations by Julie Brinckloe show a more disheveled Lotta, but the drawings are every bit as charming as Robin Preiss Glasser’s illustrations in The Children on Troublemaker Street. *

I loved Lindgren’s Pippi books when I was young but I never knew about this book or its sequel The Children of Troublemaker Street.
I wish I’d known about this book when I was five. This is a wonderful introductory chapter book. The color cover picture and several black and white illustrations in the book are quite sweet.
Lindgren definitely captures what it feels like to be an angry child. The family and the neighbor are warm and appealing.
The only thing that didn’t ring completely true for me...more

Lotta becomes angry with her mother when assigned to wear a scratchy sweater. She cuts the sweater up (horrors!) and runs away to find a new home. Her next door neighbor lets her set up a little house in the backyard, and Lotta decides she will live there forever. She dusts a lot. Lotta ends up going home in the end, of course! I like this book by the author of Pippi Longstocking, because I think so many children can relate to Lotta's anger.
Si Lotta kecil yang sok tahu dan nakal, penuh kepolosan masa kanak-kanak, aku temukan lagi dalam buku ini. Piknik, naik kereta, rumah pohon, memetik buah di hutan, adalah impian masa kecil anak-anak di masa lalu. Kenakalan2 wajar anak 3 tahun dan jawaban-jawaban polos sederhana yang mengundang senyum.
Memasuki bagian dimana Lotta berumur 5 tahun dan mulai memberontak, mengingatkanku pada masa kecilku sendiri yang suka 'kabur' dari rumah, ke tetangga, ketika ngambek sama orang tua.

I remember reading this as a kid (and all the other books by Astrid Lindgren) while I still lived in Poland and now it is very interesting to see how much true facts about the Swedish society she conveyed in her books!
This book is so sweet and funny! I loved it when I was a little girl and have enjoyed sharing it with my own daughter. I need to get more of this series!!
I just read this book to my daughter.She enjoyed it, but I don't remember Lotta being so naughty when I read it as a child. She cuts up her sweater that her grandma made her because she doesn't like it and runs away from home.Hmmmm...
Maybe not the best ideas to be planting in a 5 year old head! I also thought it strange that Lotta's mother leaves her at home while she goes shopping for the day. The story says that Lotta isn't old enought for school yet so she must be pretty young!Weird!
