The Dragon
Children's Books2018 · 48 pp · Age 3 - 9

The Dragon

Gro Dahle

Lilli knows that there are dragons – This is why Eline can't come home with her: because the dragon lives in Lilli's house, and dragons breathe fire and are incredibly scary … and if Lilli isn't careful, she'll wake it up. But is there a dragon tamer? Someone who can make the dragon nice? Gro Dahle has previously published the book Angry Man about fathers who react with anger and scare children. In The Dragon, there is a mother who threatens and makes Lilli afraid. In this book, Dahle again works with Svein Nyhus, who is one of our greatest picture book illustrators. Gro Dahle wisely and sensitively continues her work to address painful yet important childhood topics.

You Won’’t Believe it Until You See It

Ingeborg Eliassen

The year's longest book! A very special accordion-book that grows as you read it. Unfold this humorous and spirited picture book and see everything that happens in the kitchen while you're sleeping! I wake up from some noises and creep downstairs, but almost don't believe what I'm seeing – because underneath the striped kitchen mat, I find nothing other than the cross-eyed neighbor cat snoring! But that's not the worst part … Technical facts: You Won't Believe It Until You See It is made of solid paper (but not cardboard). It can be read like a normal book, but when you unfold it, it grows to be three meters long! On the one side, you can read the poem and see what is happening in the kitchen – and it's a lot! On the other side of the accordion, we're standing outside of the house and peeking through the window. Without doubt, this year's most original book!

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.

But things disappear, and small things disappear more easily than big things. Guri's sister is very small … so Guri writes a list – but not quite the kind of list her mom thinks it is. A sweet and fun story about becoming a big sister – when what you truly want is a big sister for yourself.
