Jacob and the Dog

Norwegian title: Jacob og hunden

Illustrated by Asbjørn Tønnesen

Now and then there is a children's book that manages to tell a completely new story while also reminding us of great children's classics. Jacob og hunden is one of these books.

The story of Jacob, a boy grieving the loss of his dog and eventually finds a new friend, is touching, recognisable and exciting, and presented using warm and natural language ideal for reading aloud.

Asbjørn Tønnesen provides the beautiful illustrations.

‘Beautiful, exciting and unsentimental. … it is entirely possible that Liv Frohde has written a new classic with this liberating, old-fashioned and beautiful book.’DAGBLADET‘A traditional tale of high quality.’AFTENPOSTEN
