The World’s Stupidest Animals

Hanna Nyborg Støstad

Fact book about stupid animals There are plenty of peculiar animals in the natural world. Some of them do things that seem downright dim-witted! But maybe they’re not so stupid after all… Some fish swim straight into the mouth of a shark. The woodpecker bashes its beak against a tree over and over again. Surely it must get a headache, mustn’t it? The kakapo is a bird that can’t fly. When it’s scared, it just stands around hoping no one will see it. The animals in this book might seem pretty stupid, but they actually have very good reasons for doing exactly what they do. Perfect for nature fans aged 6 to 9 years old.

Odd and Even Odder Jobs

Bjørn F. Rørvik

A book of fun facts about really odd jobs that you’ll never believe exist. Most children wonder what they’ll be when they grow up. Who doesn’t dream of being a footballer or a popstar? Or maybe a firefighter, a doctor, a hairdresser or a lawyer? But why do the same thing as everyone else? Why not do something completely different? How about being a dinosaur-duster, a snake-milker or an armpit-sniffer? In Odd and Even Odder Jobs, Bjørn F. Rørvik has come up with more than 50 professions that you probably never knew existed. There’s plenty of fun and peculiar stuff, and some of the jobs sound really unlikely. But all of them are absolutely real – and all of them need to be done!

The Turbo Twins and the Mayor’s Evil Plan

Harald Maxmillian Stoltenberg / Robert Stoltenberg

Harald and Robert have settled down pretty well in the countryside. They’ve made some friends at school and spend lots of time with Sigrid, Rudolf and the animals on the next-door farm. But when the twins return to rural life after an unsuccessful autumn break in Oslo, they find that everything is topsy-turvy. The local council has decided to build an enormous motorway in the village and it’s going to pass RIGHT THROUGH Sigrid and Rudolf’s farmyard. Sigrid and Rudolf aren’t convinced by the council’s promise of a new flat above the supermarket with a massage shower and underfloor heating: they don’t want to move and the Turbo Twins have to help them! Harald and Robert decide to stop the council’s plans, but little do they know what the evil village mayor is capable of. How do you even stop a motorway? Can children stand up to adults who are being unfair? And what on earth will happen to the animals if the farm is demolished? The Turbo Twins and the Mayor’s Evil Plan is a hilarious, heart-warming story about being creative, standing up to the powers-that-be and sticking up for other people.

The Mountain is Haunted

Sidsel Jøranlid

An easy-to-read ghost story. Just scary enough, just dark enough. Mum has inherited a cabin from her uncle Gunnar.

But it’s the Easter holidays, and they should be spent at the cabin. During their holidays, Simon’s creepy feeling begins to manifest in some specific suspicions. There’s something happening at the abandoned mountain lodge across the road. And didn’t something seem odd about the other children Simon and his sister met? One of Bok365's best books of 2023«Sidsel Jøranlid has written a really scary story. It's a horror of the good old kind, where the mind is drawn to Norwegian horror classics, like Andre Bjerke's The Lake of the Dead (De dødes tjern).»BOK365, six/six stars «That a middle grade book is easily read, is thankfully no hinder for it also being really scary.»KLASSEKAMPEN «Sidsel Jøranlid does not give you all the answers, it's up to you what to believe. She has written a story that ranges from the mundane, which the children will recognize, to what can be experienced as scary when it's dark - then she really gives in to superstition and rumours.»HAMAR ARBEIDERBLAD

The Drone Catcher

Øyvind Torseter

On a small island lives the Mule Boy. He receives a warning about a catastrophe and locks himself inside his house. The rats have taken over the city. Should he escape, or should he stay put? After consideration, he bravely ventures out into the empty streets, where he finds someone who’s part of the resistance. An adventurous, apocalyptic action-filled story about isolation, being daring and giant rats. The Drone Catcher is the fifth book about Mule Boy, a series of graphic novels that blend myth, adventure and social commentary, in text and images. Mule Boy’s skewed and somewhat alienated universe enables us to see ourselves and our society with fresh eyes.Allowing plenty of time is recommended: Between Torseter's covers there is - in every way - so much going on that his broad pages are a joy to turn.KLASSEKAMPEN[The book] is large and thick, but it is wise to give yourself plenty of time on each page, to study the details. This is where the experience lies - and the opportunity to supplement with your own associations and reflections. This applies to both adult readers and children.VÅRT LANDTorseter stands firm in its art form. The overview images are colourful, intricate and detailed, while the close-ups and individual scenes are simple and immediate, with black ink and a white background. This contrasting alternation creates a good flow in the narrative.BARNEBOKKRITIKK
