"My name is Lisa and I am a girl, as I have already told you. I have two brothers..." These words begin the book and let us know that Lisa and Olaf and Bill and Britta and Anna and Karl—the children of "Noisy Village"—again have many exciting adventures to be related. They are told about by Lisa in her own (and Astrid Lindgren's) special way which is realistic, wise, humorous, and thoroughly delightful.
Many intriguing things happen—Olaf gets a baby sister, Lisa gets a baby lamb, Anna and Lisa explore baby-nursing, a "Cherry Company" is formed—but, most important, the children grown and develop and make plans for their future—Lisa is going "to marry Olaf, so there!"
