Why Don’t all countries Have a President?

Susanne Kaluza

Children ask a lot of strange questions and in this new non-fiction series, they’ll get answers! This lively, fully illustrated book answers children’s questions about politics, big and small. What does a politician actually do? Can children vote in elections? And does the Prime Minister really live in parliament? Why Don’t all countries Have a President? is educational and easy to understand, has humorous illustrations, and is a perfect conversation starter about politics for children aged 6 to 9.

Locotopia in the Classical antiquity

Simon Stranger

Welcome to the Classical antiquity. This book is ONLY about antique furniture: antique watches, chairs, couches etc., so there is no point in reading on. Just kidding! Simon and Helena start this story as slaves owned by a nice and reform-friendly slave owner called Reformius. But once more there is a murder (that of Reformius) and once more Simon and Helena get blamed (rude!). They have to run away so they can find a way to clear their own names, and find out why anyone would want Reformius dead. A wild journey ensues, through Plato’s cave, and to Athens just as they are celebrating the end of the Spartan war. It’s total chaos, and the two friends lose each other in the masses. Simon is suddenly on a ship with Odysseus (he says), while Helena has to dress as a soldier to get food and accidentally gets recruited for the war in Asia. How will they get back? Will they find a way to reunite? Can they uncover the conspiracy that killed Reformius? Will Simon win a gold medal, while naked, at the Olympics? (Let’s be honest, that last one seems very unlikely…) The history of the world continues in this hilarious series. The Greek philosophers have never been funnier. The Olympics has never been wilder. The Democracy has never been crazier. And Socrates has never been more irritating…

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

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.

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. Did you know that the Olympic Games come from Greece? And that all the competitors originally competed naked? Or that chocolate milk was invented by a man in Ireland? 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.
