🍄 Meet Oscar — Finland’s Most Lovable Forest Troll

Oscar is shy, pink, and just a little bit clumsy. He loves picking blueberries, fishing quietly, and solving problems... even if it means falling into a lake or getting a little muddy. These laugh-out-loud stories help kids:

  • Build empathy, emotional intelligence, and resilience
  • Learn life lessons through humor and heart
  • Explore nature and friendship in a magical world

In Oscar and the Awful, Horrible Smell, Oscar the troll goes on an adventure through the forest as he searches for the source of a very stinky smell. This story introduces new adjectives through repetition, as Oscar puts himself into humorous and often awkward situations as he hunts down the increasingly awful, horrible smell. This story teaches children about personal hygiene and self-awareness in a gentle, humorous way that will delight readers of all ages.

 

In Oscar and Otto, Oscar just wants to have a bit of relaxing fun fishing in his local lake, but his plans are disrupted when Otto, a slippery fish, steals all his worms. Otto brags to all his friends about how he was able to trick the unsuspecting fisherman. This story teaches children about the dangers of bragging and harboring bad feelings about others. It shows children that friendship can be found in surprising places and friendship is always more fun than fighting!

 

In Oscar and the Noisy Children, four other children go for a walk in the woods, leaving the fifth, Nathaniel, behind. The young boy is hurt, angry, and tries to follow them, but in his frustration, he is not paying attention to where he is walking and gets into a sticky situation. Fortunately, Oscar is watching and alerts the other children to the problem. Then together they find a way to rescue Nathaniel. This story teaches children to be aware and considerate of others. It also demonstrates working together to solve a problem while affirming that different skills and temperaments each have a role and a useful purpose.
