The World's Largest Animals

Mari Kjetun

Exciting Facts About the World's Largest Animals The giants of the animal kingdom have a lot in common. They have few natural enemies, can live for many years, spend much of their time eating and need vast areas to find all the food they require. Now, the biggest threat these animals face is humans – who destroy their habitats or hunt them. Instead, we must learn how to protect them, ensure they have enough space to live and help prevent them from becoming extinct. Even though these large animals are strong and impressive, many of them rely on us to live safe and healthy lives. An engaging and fact-filled book, perfect for readers who are able to read slightly longer texts. Ages 7-11.

Roger Brendhagen / Ole Mathismoen

The youngest children can get to know Norway’s amazing animals in this beautiful board book featuring real-life photographs.

This is a lovely book to read together, again and again. Which animal is your favourite? Created by two of Norway’s foremost experts: nature photographer Roger Brendhagen and author Ole Mathismoen, one of the country’s leading communicators of nature knowledge for children and young people.

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.
