Here's the book in Swedish: https://www.adlibris.com/se/bok/den-mycket-hungriga-larven-9789179033415 https://www.adlibris.com/se/bok/den-mycket-hungriga-larven-9... Anecdotally I'd say well over half the people I know here in Sweden with kids of the relevant age own a copy. I also definitely read it as a kid, had it read to me in kindergarten, and even remember it as an 'animated' TV show (basically panning shots over the illustrations as a narrator read the story).

It's fascinating how culture can be so segmented within such a small population. When we got the books for our kids I read them and loved them. I told my mother about them and she didn't recognize them at all. How old are you? I was born in 1987 so I grew up in the nineties.

  I grew up in the 80s, so that could be a factor.
