About the book (from the dust jacket)
Matti lives on a farm surrounded by woods and water. It is summer and the days are long Matti climbs and fishes and plays with his friend Merja, who lives nearby. Merja has her own pets -a dog and a kitten – and Matti wants an animal of his own, too. He is proud and happy when his father gives him a week-old wolf to care for temporarily And in a happy surprise ending Merja helps Matti turn “for the time being’ into “for keeps.” In this newest book in the well-known Children of the World series, Anna Riwkin-Brick and Astrid Lindgren capture for children everywhere the music of lone summer days in the land of the midnight sun.
