The Children on Troublemaker Street
Astrid Lindgren, Ilon Wikland
Hardcover
(MacMillan, March 15, 1966)
When the Nyman children are around, anything can happen. They are the kind who fall out of windows (low ones) and into lakes (shallow ones), who turn a simple train trip into a three-ring circus and the kitchen floor into a flood. Jonas, Maria, and Lotta are their names, but their father calls them Big Noise, Little Noise, and Little Nut. This book follows them through a year of roughhouse adventures bursting with good-humored fun.
