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 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.
