Here’s Little Anna

By Inger and Lasse Sandberg

Anna is a little girl who likes to do things by herself. She wants to build things and she wants to decide on things. She knows how to! She has a good friend, the world’s tallest uncle. Tall Uncle is tall and thoughtful. Little Anna is small and very brave. Together they make a great team! Little Anna has lost her black cat. Where could the cat be? It was nearby playing just a moment ago! Anna looks everywhere in the house, but the cat is nowhere to be found. Luckily, Tall Uncle knocks on the door and offers to help. He lets Little Anna sit on his hat where the sight is much better, and after noticing a big tree nearby, Tall Uncle takes Anna closer and together they find Anna’s cat, hiding in the tree. After going back home, the two celebrate with Anna’s mum and dad, and Little Anna thanks Tall Uncle for his help.
