Sally’s Dad Strikes Again

By Thorbjørn Christoffersen Thomas Brunstrøm

Do you know Sally’s Dad?

It’s not always easy being Sally. Because Sally’s dad is both embarrassing and silly, and then he comes up with the most far-fetched ideas. But luckily, Sally and little brother Eddie know how to handle their dad. And actually, Sally’s dad is pretty funny too. At least if you ask him.

Sally would like to dress up as a robot for carnival, and even though she would prefer to buy the costume, her dad immediately starts to build one himself. And actually it turns out quite amazing. The only problem is that Sally can’t move her arms when she wears it and how is she then supposed to participate in the good old carnival tradition of “hitting the cat out of the barrel”? When Sally’s dad turns up at the party, things turn from bad to worse. Because Sally’s dad has his own – rather poor – solution to Sally’s challenge.

Sally’s Dad is a modern classic in Denmark, one of the country’s bestselling series with over 2 million copies sold across the series in Denmark alone. This fresh, energetic and hilarious childrens book series tells about Sally and her Dad. The series is penned by author Thomas Brunstrøm and brought to life with illustrator Thorbjørn Christoffersen’s vibrant illustrations.

Sally’s Dad Strikes Again is the eleventh book in the series.
