Ancient Egypt

Eldrid Johansen

Come along on an exciting voyage to Egypt in the olden days. You’ll encounter pharaohs and pyramids, sphynxes and hieroglyphics. In Ancient Egypt, people believed in life after death. But you had to be on your best behaviour while you were alive and pass difficult tests after you were dead. You couldn’t cheat either – because your heart would give you away. And what was happening here in the North while the Egyptians were learning about writing and culture? Totally thrilling material for kids who have cracked the reading code!

Disgusting

Alexander H. Sandtorv

Slimy snot, stinky farts, squirting diarrhoea and the sound of a knife scraping a plate. The world is full of disgusting things. But what are some really disgusting things? And why are they disgusting? The reader will find the answers in this book. But it comes with a warning! If you can’t cope with reading about truly disgusting, repulsive, stinky, slimy stuff, you must not buy this book! The book is repulsively illustrated by Linn Eielsen who has clearly channelled her inner stinking and anally fixated nine-year-old. The resulting illustrations are… well… nauseating.

Either or

Would you rather eat your nails each time you cut them, or eat your hair each time you cut it? Either or? What would you rather? This book is filled with dilemmas, where all of the options are completely insane!

Weird Facts About Europe

Håkon Forfod Sønneland

This is the ultimate guide to weird laws and customs in the different countries of Europe: all the things you’ve ever wondered about, or didn’t even know you were wondering about, when it comes to our neighbour countries.

Or that in Switzerland you’re not allowed to own just one guinea pig. Håkon Sønnenland calls himself an artist of ideas. That’s probably because he has so many peculiar ideas himself. You can read about some of them in this book. The book has lively illustrations by Jens A. Larsen Aas.
