* [[ABoyAndHisX A Boy And His Not So Imaginary Friend]] ''and'' [[ABoyAndHisX A Boy And His Dog]]: Lillebror wants a dog more than anything in the world but his parents aren't too keen on him getting one. At the end of the first book, however, they relent, partly because they think that with a dog Lillebror won't be so lonely anymore and won't keep thinking up stories about Karlsson. It's only ''after'' Lillebror has gotten his new puppy that they actually meet Karlsson. The dog, Bimbo, remains Lillebror's trusty pet in the two following books, even if he never becomes the replacement for Karlsson that Lillebror's parents hoped he would -- though he and Karlsson get along perfectly well for the most part.

The Karlsson stories have been adapted for both the big and the small screen a number of times. The earliest adaptations are the two Russian featurettes from 1968 and 1970, which were based on the first two books in the series and are part of the reason why [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff Karlsson is such a popular character in Russia that he's almost a Russian cultural icon]]. These were followed in 1974 by a Swedish live-action version called ''Världens Bästa Karlsson'' ("The Greatest Karlsson in the World"), which adapted the first book. Then, in 2002, another animated movie was released, this time a full-length theatrical feature based on the first and third book (primarily the third), produced in Norway and overseen by Ilon Wikland, the woman who had illustrated the original books.
