I've just finished reading Du är bäst, Pytte! by Ingrid Flygare. It's a fun children's book I borrowed from the Huskvarna bibliotek. I read it twice.
Du är bäst, Pytte! (You're the best, Pytte!) is a story about not losing courage even if you do not succeed in the beginning. Everybody is talented in their own ways and Pytte soon finds this out for himself!
Pytte is a 4-year-old Shetland pony. He lives at the Granbacken stable with three other horses named Sonja, Jumper, and Attila. They are very supportive of each other and have so much fun together. One day, it is time for Pytte to go to a riding school and earn his diploma. Pytte will be riding with a young girl named Ling.
Pytte is nervous and he is not too keen to leave his comfort zone at the stable. However, his friends reassured him that he will learn and have fun at the ridläger (riding camp). So off he goes with Ling! One must read the book to see how Pytte is faring at the camp.
The narration of the audio edition at Sveriges Radio is wonderful. I was reading along while listening to it and enjoying the pictures illustrated by the author herself. The other three books in the Pytte series are:
Du är för liten, Pytte! (Listen here)
Spring fort, Pytte! (Listen here)
En ny kompis, Pytte! (Listen here)
