The tetanus needle stories have been used within higher education describing children's fear of tetanus needles.
The book cover depicts Sune pointing at an object dropped to the floor, while Håkan is behind Sune.
Sune now has a little sister, Isabelle. Sune thinks she is "cute" despite screaming worse than Tarzan. Håkan wants his parents to go back to birthing center and replace her with a baby that doesn't cry so loud. Sune also holds his first party, with "loud" music, "cute" girls, dancing and playing post office.
Sune's class at school becomes the first 2nd grade class go get a tetanus needle, and rumors talk of two needle-related deaths previous year, and other pains. Joakim doesn't need, because he got one last year when ending up dog-bitten. He tells stories about the needle being one meters tall, and a hammer being used. Sune tries to avoid it, and sends a notice which he says is from his mother, telling her son doesn't need to take the needle. Finally, the nurse has to declare it's undangerous, and that it's more dangerous to not get a needle.
