The Penelope series by Saara Kekäläinen & Reetta Niemensivu (ill.) continues in Latvia, as Latvijas Medij has acquired the rights to Penelope and the Curious Clothing Commotion (Penelope #3).
In Penelope and the Curious Clothing Commotion Penelope is learning to get dressed by herself, but she has a sneaking suspicion that the clothes have it in for her. If she does not watch out, the knotted tights will bunch her in as well. Is there a gnome living in their house, one who nibbles a tissue sample off every sock and eats a sock from each pair? What if Penelope gets lost inside her clothes and pops out of a sleeve and into the wrong story? Or accidentally puts on Dad’s shirt and has to shave and go to work every morning?
Penelope is a little girl with a penchant for finding adventure in ordinary tasks. Before learning to get dressed, she had to make her peace with a dangerous-looking morning porridge in Penelope and the Perilous Porridge, and learnt what happens to children’s teeth when they start shaking in Penelope and the Big Baby Tooth Ballyhoo.
Saara Kekäläinen is an author known of her witty and anarchistic themes handled with abundant humour.
Reetta Niemensivu is an illustrator known as the pencil and colour behind many well-loved and successful Finnish books for children.
Latvijas Medij is a Latvian publishing house with a broad selection of titles of all genres. They are the Latvian home of the Penelope series and of The Princess Who Did a Runner.
Congratulations to the authors and the publisher!
