Why?
Norwegian title: Hvorfor det?
Why? is a book full of questions! Because there’s so much to ask about. Why is it wrong to hit people? Why doesn’t Dad beep his horn more when he’s driving? Why can’t we brush our teeth with caramel sauce? And where do they come from, all these questions? Should we phone the King? Or ask Outer Space?
A warm, funny picture book from Kaia Dahle Nyhus for kids with their noggins full of questions.REVIEWSWhy? is both a warm and funny picture book for all curious children. There is something so liberating about a book that's filled with questions and very few answers. Here, the child itself has to get involved.Bogbotten.dk, Denmark
Challenging picture book – also for adults[The story and conundrum] is complex and unusually deep. The story works splendidly both at the children's level, where one can talk about authorities and about hitting someone, and on the adult-philosophical level, which takes up the breaking down of moral and the group cohesiveness of society. It is awe-inspiring art.Kristeligt Dagblad, Denmark
Why? is an excellent picture book, which everyone who knows a curious little one could bring home to the reading nook.Politiken, Denmark
