Wheaskers

Bjørn F. Rørvik

Fox and Piglet are two friends with great charm!Fox and Piglet get two hairs from The Cow. She tells them that these are real wheaskers, the kind they used in old times to tell the weather. Fox starts a new career as a meteorologist, and soon the sillywinkles and others come to him to hear news about the weather. Everything goes well, as long as the wetaher is nice. But then the wheaskers are ruined, a Swedish sillywinkle berry picking get the wrong forecast, and thunder and lightning cause both chaos and dread. But Fox has, as always, a new plan! With great humour in both story and illustration, the books about Fox and Piglet appeal to grown ups just as much as the younger readers. "Remarkably funny! After this anything else is straight forward and boring."ADRESSEAVISEN"Bjørn F. Rørvik and Per Dybvigs books about Fox and Piglet, and the rare animals they meet on their path, must be something of the most precious that is published in Norway these days."HAMAR ARBEIDERBLAD"Last years book, Café Tip of the Tail, was a wonderful acquaintance. The joy is if possible even greater this year."STAVANGER AFTENBLAD"Bjørn F. Rørvik writes vivaciously, telling the cheerful story about the Fox becoming a meteorologist. The humoristic tone is never hysterical, but wanders playfully along using innovative new words in the storytelling."BARN & FORELDRE

Café Tip of the Tail

Bjørn F. Rørvik

Fox has a new hobby. He collects tail feathers and put them in an album. It is a difficult hobby. So far he has a collection of two feathers; Hen and Strange Hen. To better the situation, Fox and Piglet open a café for migrating birds under the old oak tree. Payment: one tail feather from every bird. The café is a great success. The customers are very satisfied, and Fox is very contempt with the result. But all of a sudden the Great Green Slooth comes along, and everything is changed. The book is illustrated by Per Dybvig."Get ready for a great big laugh for the entire family. The author and illustrator really hit the bull´s-eye with this one."STAVANGER AFTENBLAD"The illustrations in this book are just precious. So ugly, cool, weird and funny that young readers flip eagerly through the book. Kids love shenanigans, and this book is full of it, both in story and images."AFTENPOSTEN

Padre Pietro's Secret

Ingvar Ambjørnsen

This is the third book about the very ugly dog Samson and the smart but ever so hungry cat Roberto. Together they run Hotel Fjord View, and this time they have both an enemy to fight and a mystery to solve. When the very big, and to the core bad, dog Sheriff appears, arresting the mole-poet Gregor for illegal immigration and closing down the local newspaper Fjord Times, they really get their hands full. Handy-man Olli the Otter promptly constructs a secret print shop in the basement under the von Ostrich convenience store, where the journalist-rat Benny starts a underground newspaper. At the same time a new guest arrives; Mario Gastromati, Italian beaver, hairdresser and restaurant owner. He is looking for the secret recipe of Padre Pietro's elderberry lemonade, and he has reasons to think that the recipe is hidden somewhere in the area. The lemonade is said to have the most astounding effect on those who drink it. Astoundingly enough, Sheriff is overly friendly to Mario. What is he planning? And are the two of them in business together?

Claus Climbermouse and the other animals in the Huckybucky forest

Thorbjørn Egner

The Hakkebakke Forest is a small world which, in many ways, resembles our own bigger world. Klatremus and Morten and Daddy Ted and Mikkel and all the others in the forest are animals and look like animals too, but they also wear clothes and walk on two legs and live in houses, and remind us a lot of people in what they do and say, and how they think. Also in the Hakkebakke Forest is, as it is with us in the big world, a desire for peace and safety and respect for everyone.
