Bibblan's New Books

We've recently added new books to Bibblan's collection! There are many board books (pekböcker) and picture books (bilderböcker) to accommodate beginners in Swedish. Classics like Sagan om det röda äpplet by Jan Lööf as well as new favourites like Mappa och Barni by Erik Wennstam and Julia Hansson are available. A few of the new picture books have episodes on UR's Småsagor programme and can be paired with listening! See below for direct links to each episode.
