Eventually the kids decide to try to replicate a roller coaster. Every idea they come up with leads to screaming. This tells the story of when the Bullerby children decide to throw a Children’s Day for little Kerstin. I don’t think it was ever published in the United States. The book was published in Great Britain in 1967 with reprints in 19. Another version with pictures by Ilon Wikland exists titled A Day At Bullerby, but I read this version. This book (originally Barnens Dag I Bullerbyn, 1966) was translated by David Henry Wilson and illustrated by Katrin Engelking. Huge thanks go out to Saltkråkan AB for finding this book for me to read! Copies of the book surface online, but are expensive – 2 copies on .uk are currently for sale for 113 pounds ($168) – plus shipping. Children’s Day in Bullerbu was the most difficult of all the Noisy Village books to find.
