Tuttuus raamat inglise keele oskajatele (või oma keeleoskuse lihvimiseks) , või ka oma ingliskeelsetele tuttavatele kingiks. Humoorikas lugemine nii lastele kui täiskasvanutele!

Oskar saadetakse suveks maale vanaema juurde. Esialgu on tal seal väga igav ja kõik tundub kuidagi võõras ja harjumatu. Siis aga avastab Oskar, et ta saab asjadega rääkida...Ja elu läheb ühekorraga väga huvitavaks...

One summer, when his parents are away for work, Oskar is sent to the countryside to live with his grandma. A dreary prospect turns into a disaster when Oskar realises he left his mobile phone back home. What will he do all summer now?

Lonely and bored, Oskar crafts a phone out of a block of wood he finds in the shed and uses it to pretend to call things.

To his surprise, the things reply! He speaks to a tough-talking iron, a poetising bin, a bloodthirsty wardrobe, a red balloon that gets tangled in the crown of a birch tree, and many more. Oskar finds himself in high demand, helping things solve their problems and achieve their dreams.

Oskar and the Things is a charming book about the power of the imagination and friendship, by Estonia's leading children's writer, Andrus Kivirähk.
