Snipp, Snapp, and Snurr were three little boys who lived in Sweden. They had blue eyes and yellow curls, and they looked very much alike.
One time, while their mother was visiting a friend, Snipp, Snapp, and Snurr had a wonderful idea. They would buy a new chair for mother!
They found a man who would make a frame for the chair, and someone who would upholster it. And Nanny said that if they bought the fabric, she would sew a cover. There was only one problem. How could they pay for all this?
With a lot of hard work, the three little boys came up with the perfect solution.
Originally published in the United States in 1937, Snipp, Snapp, Snurr and the Big Surprise was one of a series of treasured books created by Swedish author-artist Maj Lindman (1886-1972). She also wrote and illustrated stories about three little Swedish girls, Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka.
Today's young readers will find the warm, wholesome stories of these busy, independent children quaint, but immensely satisfying.
