Story of the Ultimate Imaginary Friend - By: Anna Abrahamyan, 28 May 2007 
I absolutely recommend this book to all parents & children. It is a beautiful tale of a 7 year old who befriends a little man who lives on the roof of their Stockholm apartment building & flies around with the aid of a ventilator attached to his back & operated with a button on his trousers.
Together they catch thieves, make a mental case out of the nasty nany & make new friends. Astrid Lindgren is the ultimate story teller, worth more attention than J. K. Rowling. Her stories are of such educational value that children ask you to get back & start from the beginning right after the story is finished. Her other writings on Karlson, little girl Pepe & Emile from Lonneberg should be the treasure of any family library.
Glue a post-it on, so you remember this one! - By: , 19 Mar 2006 I can't believe there isn't even a review for any of the books of the karlson serie!!!Don't you people know astrid lindgren? well, you should, if you have kids & are getting used to an enormous feeling of boredome when you read to them! These books are so much fun! it's the story of a little boy who finds a very strange friend: a little fat man with a flying gadget on his back, that is terribly childish, different & full of mischief, that will soon be blamed on lillebror, the boy, because,let's face it: what is the only possible reaction for a parent when something appears broken & your child clames it was a funny man that lives on the roof that did it...but Karlson is very real indeed...Just give it a try, & don't let the publishing date put you off, since when does modern equal good?
