Gigglebug and Poppy the Hedgehog’s Space Rock

Anttu Harlin & Joonas Utti 2018: Kikattava Kakkiainen ja Neiti Siilin avaruuskivi

Poppy the Hedgehog finds a space rock. The other animals think it's just an ordinary rock. Gigglebug helps Poppy to take care of the rock and get ready for a trip home, where ever that may be.

Other Greengown Forest friends laugh at Gigglebug and Poppy, but they don't give up.

I won't reveal the result. The lesson here: imagination is important, believe in yourself.  I really like Gigglebug, its kindness and sense of humor.  I am only sorry that my boys have outgrown the stories. Why haven't I?

Gigglebug and City-Bunny's skateboard

Anttu Harlin 2018: Kikattava Kakkiainen ja City-Kanin skeittilauta

Illustrated by Joonas Utti

Poppy Hedgehog wants to try out City-Bunny's new sled. Which of course is not s sled, but a skate board. City-Bunny is very proud of it and the others want to see, what it does. City-Bunny explains that it needs a hill, but every hill that the other suggest has something wrong with it: too small, too modest, too round, too lumpy and so on. 

Then Gigglebug has an idea: they can build one!  Together they build a roller coaster style "hill". Finally City-Bunny admits that he/she is scared. The others say they are afraid, too They ride toghether and have a time of their life.

This is the first "story"book about Gigglebug. the first being a think pages small children book. I am glad

Gigglebug - laughbuttonbook

Anttu Harlin, Joonas Uitti 2015: Kikattava Kakkiainen

Gigglebug is playing with his/her friends. All it can hear is different laughter and when you turn the page, you can see, who made that sound.

Cute laughs, even though this book has thick pages, which in our house means its a baby book,  my five year old son likes this book.

We first met Giggle bug on an animation  at Pikku Kakkonen. I guess part of the charm is that "Kakkiainen" reminds us of  "kakka" which means poo. I like the delicate illustrations of the animation and this book.
