Norwegian title: Søppel
A factual story about two dustbin-men, Sigmund and Oskar, told in colourful pictures. We follow their journey around town from beginning to end of their working day. They set out at around four in the morning and are done by your lunchtime, or thereabouts.
What would happen if there were no dustbin-men?
‘Søppel is fun! … Short, easy to read and precise sentences. Funny, educational and original illustrations.’Gudbrandsdølen Dagningen
‘An attractively presented pedagogical project. The book’s strengths are its themes, which will capture the interest of many, and its appealing illustrations.’Barnebokkritikk.no
