The Knights Go For Gold

Bjørn F. Rørvik

The two little knights are back, just in time for the large knight tournament. And just like last time there is some seriousness beneath all the silliness: Why can’t girls do the same as boys? And does one HAVE to be tough and brave, just because one is a boy? The Middle Ages are almost at an end, after all! It’s the annual knight tournament in Klampenburg, and Sir Rosebush and Sir Bang have been training for a whole year. They’ve probably snuck away a bit too because it’s a little dangerous to do both sword fighting and archery – not to mention jousting. (That’s when someone tries to push the other one down from the horse with a long pole.) They don’t really want to take part, but Princess Begonia does! The problem is just that the King has said she’s not allowed to take part because she’s a girl. So the two little knights must help her to secretly prepare for the tournament. They have to train her for the exercises and find armour that will hide her face. Neither of those things are easy! Bjørn F. Rørvik is a master at silly humour with a good undertone, his stories are a joy to read out loud and in this book there’s loads of fun for children and adults. Camilla Kuhn has her own twist on the knights – they are recognisable, but still a little bit different from last time.

Hanne Hagerup / Hilde Hagerup

Selma is 9 years old and orphaned. Her biggest wish is to have a family, and she writes just that in a letter to Santa Claus. Her letter finds its way to the elf village Snow Valley, and eventually Selma also ends up there, even though Snow Valley is off limits to ordinary people. Perhaps Selma isn't an ordinary person? Short after her arrival, dramatic things begin to happen. Santa Claus suddenly disappears and other forces start taking over. If Selma and her friends fail to find Santa Claus, all the good that he represents will disappear. Christmas itself could be at stake. Snow Valley is based on the manuscript to the most popular Christmas calendar TV-series through times on Norwegian children's TV. The book is written by Hilde and Hanne Hagerup, and beautifully illustrated by Ane Lysebo Gustavsson. This book is the perfect gift for anyone who loves Christmas!

The Wafflefish

Bjørn F. Rørvik

Fox and Piglet have borrowed a book about fish, with pictures ofall sorts of fish and sea creatures. Some of the fish look very funny, for example the Gurglefish. Others look very nasty to eat, suchas the Potatomouth, which is U.N.O.P – Unusually Nasty On Pizza. But there are also some which look remarkably good, and most tempting of all is the Wafflefish.Piglet fancies a wafflefish for dinner. So the two friends go on a fishing trip – but there may be more than wafflefish lurking in the deep.The Wafflefish (Vaffelfisken) is the twelfth book about Fox and Piglet. Here again Rørvik and Dybvig are in top form, as they have been right from their very first book, twenty years ago. 'The Wafflefish is good storytelling inspired by adventure, with funny animals given human attributes and weaknesses. This is a book that surprises, that we laugh at and grow fond of. In short: Quality fun for little ones.'DAGBLADET 'A fresh and fanciful fishy story which will delight readers of all ages.'BYAVISA FREDRIKSTAD

The Cristmas Bailiff

Bjørn F. Rørvik

The Christmas Bailiff (Julefuten) is the eleventh book about Fox and Piglet. This time they end up in the middle of the sillywinkles Christmas celebrations and get to witness the traditional presentation of cake to the Christmas bailiff himself. Every day throughout December the Christmas bailiff comes out of the forest and collects the cake left for him by the sillywinkles. Fox and Piglet become increasingly intrigued by who this Christmas bailiff might be and therefore decide to follow him. His tracks lead through the forest and straight to the cave of Papp the sillyfart. Is the Christmas bailiff friends with Papp? Or is there another explanation? Sumptuous, wondrous and lively pre-Christmas book for children of all ages. ‘With wordplay and cool drawing, this is an experience for both those reading and those being read to. [...] Whereas children will notice one thing, adults will also notice something else entirely. Such stories are demanding to write, but here Rørvik and Dybvik have been utterly successful. [...] It is easy to read, tidy and clear.’ TELEMARKSAVISA ‘The story is wonderfully original, but also very familiar. [...] Few children’s book authors are as hilariously inventive as Bjørn F. Rørvik. [...] In the story of The Christmas Bailiff, he also uses wordplay and double meanings that are probably as much of a joy for the adult doing the reading – and this is undoubtedly a book to be read aloud!’ NRK.NO ‘Instead of dutifully bringing their work into line with conventional Christmas themes, Rørvik and Dybvig bring Christmas into the universe that they have established with Fox and Piglet. Using their own unique brand of wordplay and absurdity, they deliver a refreshingly different Christmas story brought to life by Dybvig’s distinctive lines.’ BARNEBOKKRITIKK.NO

Football Shoes

Brynjulf Jung Tjønn

Sigurd can't wait for the tournament! He is hoping to be picked as striker today. But then Sigurd realises that he has forgotten to bring his football shoes, and so his best friend Helge is striker instead. It is no fun at all to watch the tournament from the bench, he thinks, no matter how exciting the competition is. But then Helge is injured! Fotballskoene is a charming and familiar little book about football, competition and friendship. 'This book is written in capitals and it meant I knew the letters and could read some of the words. It was great. It’s fine for everyone who likes football and especially for children who are learning to read. I liked the pictures in the book, too, especially the ones with the coach.'Jakob (6), Foreldre & Barn
