Step on it, Ine!

Tore Renberg / Øyvind Torseter

This is the first volume in a new series of picture books by Tore Renberg and Øyvind Torseter. Ine and Hasse are sister and brother. Ine is the older one and can fix everything. Hasse doesn’t say much, only «yes» or «tractor». They are going to cut down a tree in the forest and Ine carries the axe, of course. Soon, all the forest animals turn up to find out what’s going on. The text is playful and charming, with overtones of jingles. The beautiful illustrations are based on cut-and-fold technique. One of the most exciting picture books in 2010! Gi gass, Ine received the Ministry of Culture’s Award for Best Picture Book 2010. ‘Perfect! … A beautiful and clever picture book. … Words and illustrations are in close dialogue throughout the book. The style, both verbal and visual, is innovative, poetic, playful. Renberg/Torseter make a good team…’Dagbladet

Hello Planet!

Anna Fiske

A new book to follow the smart, popular Hallo jorda! and Hallo byen! They are all «mingle-books», which provide unending interest – always something new to look at, or a new character to find out about. A creature settles on the planet because it is so peaceful, but, as time passes, new things keep happening, and more and more folk are moving in. Is there another planet somewhere? It is an impressive universe that is displayed in Hallo, planeten! And it is described with a great sense of humour. The pictures tell many stories in the same image.

What?
Children's Books2010 · 64 pp · Age 3 - 9

What?

Anna Fiske

The idea behind Hæ? is that both children and people with learning difficulties should be ableto enjoy it. The book is designed as a series of guessing exercises: you are shown a small part of an object or a place and asked to guess what the whole is like. The answer is shown on the next page.The idea has turned into a splendid book, unusual and varied, illustrated by a mixture of photographs and drawings. The answers are accompanied by amusing comments on the pictures. ‘Hallo Planeten! and HÆ? show a most welcome talent for passing on art on children’s own terms, without forgetting the adults who share the reading experience with the children. In other words, Anna Fiske has grown into a picture book artist who meets most requirements for becoming a well-deserved commercial success and a favorite among the critics.’Barnebokkritikk
