Ben Adams

Join space wolves Jim and Keith on their quest to Grandma's house, where you can eat as much as you like! Jim and Keith live on the moon, with nothing to eat but bananas.

But where on Earth could grandma be? Is she even alive, after all these years? And what happens when the astronaut discovers that the wolves have actually been planning on eating his grandma?

Close up: Life under water

Jannicke Wiik-Nielsen / Dag O. Hessen / Line Renslebråten

See life under water with completely new eyes in this non-fiction book for the whole family! See pictures like you've never seen before - look a tadpole in the eyes, or take a look at their teeth. The unique images are magnified up to 15,000 times through a special technique. Here you will learn how jellyfish poop, and how crabs talk to each other. If you dare, get close and familiar with their claws! Did you know that crabs both smell and taste with their claws? Or that there are crabs who can climb trees? Or that some shrimp actually brush fish teeth? Incredibly, tiny zooplankton found in the North Sea, no bigger than a grain of rice, can form swarms so large they can be seen from space. And did you know that there are animals without heads? They are not as scary as you might think: Starfish are one of them. You've probably seen them, but hardly as close up as you can here... The pictures were taken in a very special microscope by researcher and scientist Jannicke Wiik-Nielsen. She has won photography awards for her pictures, and the texts are written in collaboration with Dag O. Hessen and Line Renslebråten, renowned communicators of nature science for both children and adults. This is a beautiful book full of facts that the whole family will enjoy. In addition to the special pictures, there are drawings of frogs, fish and crabs as we are used to seeing them. An exciting and educational book about an important and contemporary topic. A fact book that takes children's curiosity seriously. NOMINATED TO THE BRAGE PRIZE FOR BEST NON-FICTION BOOK FOR CHILDREN

Extraordinary Animals

Hanna Nyborg Støstad

A beautiful, colourful and knowledgeable children’s book about evolution. Extraordinary Animals is a fascinating non-fiction book for children aged 6–12.

Animals that find smart solutions to problems live for a long time and have lots of babies. The best solutions beat the solutions that aren’t as good. This is called evolution, and evolution means that the animal world has a lot of clever tricks! Hanna Nyborg Strøstad shows young readers how evolution works in a strikingly simple, pedagogical and engaging way.

Animals have been more important for the development of humans than most people realise.Line Renslebråten depicts and tells the story about this part of human – and animal – history in a way not seen before. With care and respect for the animals she’s composed gorgeous pictures and text. This book is a collection of dramatic, touching, and true stories of incredible heroic deeds made by animals.
