This is one of Elsa Beskow's best-known and best-loved books. Peter is looking for blueberries for his mother's birthday but he can't find a single one. The King of Blueberry Land shrinks him so he can go on an adventure: ferns like trees, spider web swings, giant bugs and slugs and even a mouse ride through the forest. Peter gets to explore the world of the blueberry and cranberry children from a miniature size, discovering lots about the natural world that he didn't know before. Young children love the idea of being made tiny for the day.
"A truly wonderful Elsa Beskow classic. Full of imagination, the wonder of nature and the sweetest, simple story telling. Both my 3 and 6year old love this little tale. The illustrations are beautiful, as always." First Published in Sweden 1901.
