Bear, Finnish
Folk Tales
for Children
Kaarina Brooks:
editor
& translator
These folk tales bring back
familiar old friends: Foxy,
Rabbit, Wolf
and, of course, Bear. In this
delightful book, Kaarina Brooks
serves up
English translations of Finnish
folk tales that flow like brooks
and
illustrations that make you feel
warm inside.
In
a large tree
stump the chickadee made a nest
and started a family. One day
her
babies chirped, “Äiti, there’s
no food! There’s no food!” The
chickadee flew off in search of
food for her hungry brood.
While
she was gone,
Bear came trudging by the stump.
The babies said to each other,
“Now
there’s a big hunk of food!”
Bear
stepped up to
the nest. “Is your äiti home?”
he asked.
The stories of Bear Finnish Folk
Tales for Children appeal to the
imagination and the emotions of
children and adults alike and
offer
universally accessible, yet
traditionally Finnish
lore.

Mr. Boo
Written & Illustrated by Hannu
Mäkelä
Translated by
Ansehn Hollo
Mr. Boo is a most humanlike
character
who lives an ordinary life, sleeps peacefully and
drinks tea. His
imagination, however, is boundless in all
directions: he always looks
at
the world in new ways and has an enormous capacity
to be amazed.
Although he tries to frighten others, he fears
many things himself and
is fascinated with magic.
Hannu Mäkelä s Mr. Boo — Herra
Huu
in Finnish — has been a children's book
classic ever
since its
first publication in 1973.
