Strange Inventions

Håkon Forfod Sønneland

This is the ultimate book about all the strange inventions that exist—and perhaps some that shouldn’t. Inventions include slippers with grass, so you're always taking a stroll on the lawn.

Weird words

Helene Uri

What is a mucofagus? And what does it mean to be an ailurophile? People may think that children don´t like words they do not understand. But weird words are not dangerous. Weird words are fun! In this book you will find 356 strange, funny and mysterious words that pique curiosity and expand your vocabulary. Some of them are old-fashioned, quirky words that maybe your grandmother or grandfather knows. Others have their roots in Greek or Latin and might be scientific, but are just as funny and whimsical. Learning from this book, children can impress the grown ups. Helene Uri is an expert in words, and together with internationally renowned illustrator Kristin Roskifte, she has created this playful, colourful and exuberant celebration of weird words. This is a book for forward thinking parents who want to give their children a head start, and also a perfect gift for children aged 6 years and up. And if you where wondering - a mucofagus is a snot eater. The rest of the answers you will find in the book. A White Raven 2023

The Turbo Twins and the Great Dodgeball Battle

Robert Stoltenberg / Harald Maxmillian Stoltenberg

Turbo Twins Robert and Harald have to move from the big city to the countryside, because their mother gets a whim and needs more space for her thoughts. The house they’re moving to is run down, has an outdoor toilet and the whole area smells like cow dung. The Turbo Twins look forward to starting a new school, but already on their first day it turns out the entire school and everyone in the village is completely obsessed with one single ting: DODGEBALL. In addition to this, the twins end up in the same class as the school bully and dodgeball state champion, Sølvi. Sølvi challenges the twins to create their own dodgeball team and sign up for the big tournament that takes place every year. But who should be on their team? What happened to the new boy in their class who disappeared without a trace after the last tournament? And how in the world do you even play dodgeball? The Turbo Twins and the Great Dodgeball Battle is hysterically funny and heart-warming story about being a good brother, a good friend, and a good person. «One of the most fast-paced and fun books of 2022.»VG, FIVE/SIX STARS «It's obvious that the authors have wished to write an easily read, plot-driven story. The 34 chapters contain few dead points, and the text is tightly composed with the preparations for the Dodgeball Battle as the red thread. The story is full of dialogues in an oral language that flows well, and the end of each chapter contains small cliffhangers that makes me curious as to what will happen next.»PERISKOP

Underneath it all is a fundamental respect and fascination for the inventiveness of humans, and how it drives the world forward. Where had we been without the experiments? Author Alexander guides the reader along the way as a kind of nutty professor who lets anything happen in his laboratory and explains which experiments can be recreated at home.Science Madness is a living, breathing introduction to science and all the crazy stuff which drives the world forward. An original series about all the wild stuff which happens in the name of science.

When the King hears tell of a truly fantastic brown cheese that is made at Lisen von Kvantum’s dairy farm, Lisen is invited to the Palace, along with a chunk of brown cheese. A train ticket, with a sleeping berth, is enclosed with the invitation and Lisen von Kvantum heads off with her cheese. She guards the brown cheese behind a locked door in berth number 2, thinking that it is very important for her not to fall asleep. But of course, she does – and when she wakes up a while later, the damage is done: there are butt prints on the brown cheese! Somebody has buttocked the King’s cheese! Will the mystery be solved? Who can have committed such a serious crime? Whose butt print is that on the brown cheese? And will the King ever get to taste the world’s best brown cheese? Erlend Loe and Kim Hiorthøy are the authors behind this zippy, intricate crime mystery in five parts, which is very much inspired by Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express.Who Buttocked the Brown Cheese is not a book with silly ass humor or underwear humor, but a quality mix of all sorts of humor that tend to get anyone in a good mood. ******VG
