What Do They Do All Day?

Norwegian title: Hva gjør de dagen lang?

Ellisiv Solskinnsbakk

In the morning we wake up before walking or running off to all sorts of places. Children go to nursery or school, but what is it that grown-ups actually do when they’re at work?

In this playful rhyming book, illustrated throughout, we come across familiar and not-so-familiar occupations. Crooks who pinch sweets, hot-air balloon salesmen, an easily-distractedguide dog with a fondness for sausages, and environmental activists staging protests with nappies.

‘The illustrations are downright hilarious, both the lines and colours. [...] The illustrations are given ample room and are apt in content and form. The text and illustrations work together as a successful whole... Rhyme has a natural appeal to young listeners, and is a source of language learning and joy. This book is happy to convey knowledge and preschool children would do well to lay their hands on it.’BARNEBOKKRITIKK.NO ‘Funny and colourful book in rhyme about what adults do while children are at nursery and after-school clubs.’ØSTLANDSPOSTEN
