The Powder Witch and the Tooth Fairy
Children's Books2023 · 40 pp · Age 3 - 6

The Powder Witch and the Tooth Fairy

Ingunn Aamodt

When Hocus loses her first tooth and gets a coin from the Tooth Fairy, Pocus is jealous. He also wants to lose a tooth and have the Tooth Fairy come visit, but it’s not so easy when you only have a beak and no teeth. Luckily the Crocodile also comes for a visit and offers a solution to the problem, because if there’s something he has a lot of it is indeed teeth. But there are others in the Powder Woods who are also interested in the Tooth Fairy’s money.

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.

Sofia finds a song

Marit Larsen

In the middle of the hubbub of the busy city she lives in, Sofia discovers a mysterious melody. It stands out from all the other noises, it shines, it lights up, it has its own colour, it sneaks up through the city like a magical wind with a melody in it. It creeps through the streets and up through the floor she stands on, inside the soles of her shoes, it tickles her toes, her feet must dance, they are not able to stop, it’s as if the song is dancing with her rather than the other way around. But where is the sound coming from? In Sofia Finds a Song we’re taken on an adventure to find a melody with magnetic powers. Because when you find your own song, it is yours forever.

Granddad and Miri

Mariell Øyre

Granddad is Miri’s best friend. The best thing about him is that he never says no. Granddad can build anything and always takes the blame if anything goes wrong. The worst thing about Granddad is that he’s going south for the winter, like a bird, because a doctor has told him that the south will do him good. The thought of somewhere else being better for Granddad makes Miri’s heart clench. She decides to take matters into her own hands: Miri is going to bring Granddad back home. But how’s she going to get to Spain? Granddad and Miri is a wonderful picture book about friendship, longing and childlike creativity.

Stories

Kim Fupz Aakeson

Stories is the third picture book that Dane Kim Fupz Aakeson and Norwegian Stian Hole have created together. Three masterpieces, three beautiful and moving books to touch the hearts of children and adults alike. I open the door, and there stands Grandma. ‘Grandma?’ I ask. ‘Did you run away from the nursing home?’ ‘I’m thirsty,’ Grandma says, so I pour some ice water, and we sit out in the sun. Then I say, ‘Once upon a time’. She smiles. She nods. She says, ‘Yes, once upon a time’. But that’s all she says, a smile on her lips. I say, ‘A palace?’ Grandma is getting old. She can’t drive a car anymore, or even ride a bike. In the end, she’s not very good at remembering, either—or living in her big house all alone. But she’s still good at telling stories. A beautiful picture book about how stories and memories bring grandchildren and grandparents together.

Pigaldo

Bjørn F. Rørvik

Get ready for a football match with Fox and Piglet! With Pigaldo, Fox and Piglet make the leap from picture book to read-aloud book. Just as silly and fun, but in a slightly smaller and thicker book! Fox and Piglet are playing football in Foxhaven, but by the time the score is 5-0, Pigaldo has had enough of Bertil Fox and his dribbling and scoring and boastful comments. He’s done! ‘But you’re Pigaldo!’ Fox shouted. ‘You can’t LEAVE in the middle of a match!’ ‘I’M NEVER PLAYING FOOTBALL AGAIN!’ Piglet screamed. ‘So there!’ ‘Oh, you will!’ Fox shouted. ‘No, I won’t!’ Piglet yelled. ‘At least not with you! You poopy farthead!’ A book with humour, shenanigans and lively characters at their best.
