Karsten og Petra: Karsten får en katt

Tor Åge Bringsværd

Karsten's mom comes home late from work one day, and she has a surprise … a kitten! Golden brown with a block spot around one eye – almost like a pirate! ‘What do you want to name him?’ his big sister Siri asks. ‘Maybe Buster?’ Mom recommends. ‘Or Messi?’ says Dad. ‘The world's best football player!’ ‘No,’ Karsten says. ‘I want him to be called … LEO! That's a good name for a lion, and I hope he'll become best friends with Lion Cub.’

Karsten and Petra’s Summer Book

Tor Åge Bringsværd

In Karsten and Petra's Summer Book, we have combined two stories about Karsten and Petra. In Karsten and Petra Want to Learn How to Swim, Karsten and Petra are on a boat trip with Grandpa and his girlfriend, Esther, and they stop on an island. Neither Karsten nor Petra can swim, but they still have fun in the water, and after a while they even dare to dive down and put their heads completely underwater! So it seems that Karsten and Petra will most certainly learn how to swim soon. In Karsten and Petra Goes On A Trip, the two go on a family camping trip. Tor Åge Bringsværd (1939–) has received many awards, as a writer and as a playwright. His works have been translated into 23 languages and his theatrical works have been staged in twelve countries. Bringsværd writes for all ages.

The Billy Goats Gruff Start School

Bjørn F. Rørvik

The Three Billy Goats Gruff are back – and this time they're starting school! Once upon a time, there were three goats called the Billy Goats Gruff. They'd gotten a letter saying that they had to start school. “But why?” asked the smallest. “Everyone has to go to school these days,” explained the biggest. So, they agreed that they would try it out for a week or two. But the school has a new principal – and it isn't just anyone! "With this, the third book about The Billy Goats Gruff, Rørvik and Moursund again shows us talented cheekiness. (...) Now that the books are here it seems surprisingly natural that the goats have a new life in a new form. A revitalisation like we have seen with the likes of Shrek and other fairy tale-mutations. But the magic still lies in doing it, giving it life! All honour to Rørvik and Moursund for doing this."AFTENPOSTEN"They did it again! The Billy Goats Gruff starts school is a lovely picture book that will make the grown ups laugh and the children squeal with horror and delight."VG With The Billy Goats at the Water Park and The Three Billy Goats Gruff Return, Bjørn F. Rørvik and Gry Moursund have given children a brand new depiction of the Billy Goats Gruff we know from fairytales.And the adventure is far from over for the three goats!

The Day Mom left

Kaia Linnea Dahle Nyhus

The Day Mom Left is a picture book about losing someone and then losing your sense of reality. With the help of a good grasp of the visual and a poetic text, Kaia Dahle Nyhus captures the understanding of loss and want with warmth and humour. Chosen as a White Raven for 2017. The difficult conversationsThis beautiful story about how longing and sorrow can make a child loose foothold, is told in a simplistic text that is open for building it further. The conscious use of visual means like contoure, perspective, colour, frames and cut outs, fills out the verbal text even more. That makes this picture book admirable, and it strengthens Kaia Dahle Nyhus´position in the line of great Norwegian picture book authors. BARNEBOKKRITIKK.NO When Mother breaks awayThe abstract illustrations with colours and shapes that invite the reader to fictionalize even more, is the strength of the book art of Kaia Dahle Nyhus. The Day Mom Left invites to read together, and the grown up and child can enter a conversation about a topic that touches many. TØNSBERGS BLAD

The Bird Party

Alice Bjerknes Lima de Faria

Flapps is a nocturnal animal who gets bored when there's no one to play with. Everyone else sleeps at night – just not Flapps! Sometimes Mark plays with her, but tonight Mark has to go to bed earlier than usual. Mark was invited to a birthday party at the birds' place. Flapps wasn't. So, she steals the invitation when Mark is sleeping and goes herself. But the birds aren't particularly interested in having a visit from Flapps. They want Mark, and there's a reason for that … Tender hearted and funny! The Bird Party has the empathic view, the playful illustrations and the quiet sense of humour. The topic is important. How far are we willing to go to fit in with a certain society?DAGBLADET The Bird Party is a lovely picture book in a big format. The spreads are full of details, and we find a wonderful and fantastic array of colourful birds. The moral is good and easy to relate to: Is a good friend worth more than a fun party?BARNEBOKKRITIKKIt is the illustrations that elevate the project, with energy and drama. Great fields of deep and dark night colours make a strong contrast to the clear pastels at dawn. Yellow, pink and turquoise bring cheer to the uniformed and somewhat slick flock of birds. They are also shown as black silhouettes, quite threatening. But also appear just as superficial and vane as the text suggests. Flapps stays a nocturnal animal, almost overly simple with his figure quickly sketched, white teeth and circled eyes.BOK365

Boy and Girl Play Pretend

Hilde Matre Larsen

With easily understandable sentences and identity as its theme, author Hilde Matre Larsen has an eye to non-fiction classics for children. Mari Kanstad Johnsen's tidy drawings offer the same associations. But Boy and Girl Play Pretend is quite different from educational picture books from the 1970s. The perspective is uncompromising, childlike and playful. And for Boy and Girl, everything is possible.

Hannemone and Hulda

Jenny Jordahl

Hulda is a wood nymph, and Hannemone is a mermaid. One lives in the forest and one in the sea. Once a year, under the full moon, both nymphs and mermaids each have huge celebrations where they hope to fall in love and find a boyfriend. For wood nymphs, these are timbermen. For mermaids, it's sailors. But neither Hulda nor Hannemone can fall in love. They both wish for adventure, and search all through the woods and the sea for someone to love. As Hulda reaches the edge of the woods and Hannemone the edge of the sea, they finally meet each other. With colourful and vibrant illustrations, Jenny Jordahl renders a world where you can ask questions the established and biased norms, with humour and wisdom.
