Weird Facts About Europe
Norwegian title: Min første leseløve - Rare fakta. Europa
This is the ultimate guide to weird laws and customs in the different countries of Europe: all the things you’ve ever wondered about, or didn’t even know you were wondering about, when it comes to our neighbour countries.
Did you know that the Olympic Games come from Greece?
And that all the competitors originally competed naked?
Or that chocolate milk was invented by a man in Ireland?
Or that in Switzerland you’re not allowed to own just one guinea pig.
Håkon Sønnenland calls himself an artist of ideas. That’s probably because he has so many peculiar ideas himself. You can read about some of them in this book.
The book has lively illustrations by Jens A. Larsen Aas.
