Svein and his Rat Celebrates Christmas at the Country side
Nicolaysen, Marit: Svein og rotta feirer jul på landet This time around we get to tag along when Svein and his family visit Aunt Gro for the Christmas holidays.. Aunt Gro lives on a farm with her friend Alice and lots of animals. Aunt Gro asks Svein to “preferably not” bring his rat Mr. Smith along, because Alice doesn’t like rats. But “preferably not” means something entirely different than “definitely not” – doesn’t it?
Of course, Svein brings Mr. Smith to the farm anyway, but decides that they should sleep in the barn, so Alice doesn’t fi nd out. As they get themselves settled into the sleeping bag, Svein hears something strange. There’s something in the barn! Is it a man? Or some kind of alien? He’s dressed up like Santa, but he’s far from nice. Things go from calm to absolutely frightening!
The Svein and His Rat-books have never been more popular. The movie, based on three of the books, have all been huge successes. Marit Nicolaysen received the Librarian’s price in Norway in 2006.
