Carlson, who lives on the roof

In the city of Stockholm, on the most ordinary street, in the most ordinary house, lives the most ordinary boy named Little Brother. Yet there’s one rather extraordinary creature in the whole building, Karlsson, who lives on the roof. He’s a tiny man who, quite remarkably, can fly. All he has to do is press a button on his stomach, the propeller on his back whirs to life, and off he goes, soaring above the city to visit his little friend for another round of fun and mischief. Karlsson knows everything there is to know, so being with him is never boring. And, of course, he’s “the best in the world” at everything: the best steam engine expert, the best builder with toy blocks, and the best tamer of housekeepers ever known!
