101 Things to do Before You Grow Up

Nils Petter Mørland / Mikkel Niva

You have to learn lots of weird things before you become a grown-up: reading, writing, putting your hand up in class, brushing your teeth, saying “Yes, please” and “No, thank you” and “How are you doing?”. But you’ll learn absolutely NONE of that in 101 things to do Before You Grow up. This book is about all the funny, crazy, exciting, wonderful and magical things you can do in childhood that grownups don’t often get to do. Suggested activities include: Talking in rhyme! Living backwards for a day! Going on holiday at home! Swapping families! Readers are guided through an inventive universe of short texts and colourful illustrations that are bursting with energy, humour and playfulness. The book aims to encourage children to hold onto the unique aspects of childhood that also, oddly enough, help make us better, cooler and more creative grownups later in life.

The Bear

Roger Brendhagen / Ole Mathismoen

Did you know that bears don't hibernate, but just sleep deeply through the winter? Or that they are often up all night in the summer? And did you know that bears are the only predator that poops on themselves if they are startled? Or that their favorite food is ants and berries? Do you know where you can find a bear den? Or why it's not a good idea to try to run from a bear? You probably know that bears can roar, but did you know that they can whistle? They can also grunt like pigs, moo like cows and bark like dogs. This is the first book in the magnificent series about Norway's wild animals, from the author of the award-winning bestseller Nordic Nature, Ole Mathismoen. Unique world-class photographs from Roger Brendhagen, with entertaining and engaging text. The book also has illustrations by the award-winning artist Esther van Hulsen.

Benjamin Baarli Silseth

The World’s Stupidest Animals

Hanna Nyborg Støstad

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!
