Overview Johannes Jensen og krigen

A subtle and important picture book about war.

Johannes Jensen, the tie-wearing crocodile, is sent to fight in the war, but he doesn't quite understand why. Who is the enemy, and why do they have to fight? Through Johannes Jensen's wondering gaze, the big questions are asked that both children and adults can identify with.

The picture book invites readers to reflect and discuss one of the world's most complicated topics: war. The book will also captivate adult readers with its laconic humor and wise observations.

Reviews Johannes Jensen og krigen

Trøyste og bere 01.07.2026

«Det er ikkje berre berre å skildre krig for barn. Eg meiner Hovland og Kove kjem godt ifrå det.»

«På den eine sida viser dei kor brutal krigen kan vere. På den andre sida får både Johannes og lesarane sjå at fienden er eit menneske som oss sjølv.»

«Kan fort bli ein klassikar, denne.»

Anne Cathrine Straume, nrk.no
