Hello Earth!
Children's Books2007 · 40 pp

Hello Earth!

Anna Fiske

Hello Earth! is a search and find book. We follow six people on Earth for 16 hours. The reader can also find a lot of other things that happen or change from one hour to the next. For example, the small red car that’s always going the wrong way, or the giraffe that’s eating nearly all the leaves on the tree, and the lady who’s knitting a really long scarf; all these can be found in the book. The pictures are alive with details, and this is a book that you can read over and over again and still find something new. This is a lovely picture book for both children and adults. 'This is the kind of book that both children and adults enjoy reading. Children are often better than adults at finding the tiny details and this book is a treasure trove of details. …Anna Fiske’s world is filled with humorous characters and surprises, and the drawings are extremely charming.'AFTENPOSTEN 'Hallo Jorda! is simply ingenious as well as original ... A little gem of a book!’Oppland Areiderblad ‘Will doubtlessly become a source of joy for many!’ADRESSEAVISEN

The Goblins Association

Bjørn F. Rørvik

The Goblin Association (Nisseforeningen) is the seventh picture book about Fox and Piglet. Papp the farty goblin has joined an association, "Goblins without Borders". He’s a little bit anxious about his first meeting, and would like Fox and Piglet to go with him, even though they aren’t goblins. The meeting doesn’t go quite as Papp the fool had thought. But after a while, he is very satisfied, especially after he wins a lovely prize. The book is absurd and realistic and, quite simply, wonderful! Bjørn F. Rørvik and Per Dybvig have created a fantastic universe where Fox and Piglet are in the centre. They received the Norwegian Ministry of Arts and Science picture book award for their books about Fox and Piglet in 2005.

The Devil Tooth
Children's Books2004 · 112 pp · Age 6 - 9

The Devil Tooth

Gro Dahle

A good thrill for children who are staring to loose their teeth, and everyone else. A juicy and lushly disgusting book about life underground. Never before have you read a tooth-pulling story like this one! This book is filled with slimy and disgusting details about beings that creep and crawls, and about big and small devils. It's also very much about loosing teeth, about horrible mothers and understanding grandmothers, slightly feeble dads and terrible older brothers. And not least about the dream of a soft, soft pillow to rest your head on, such a pillow that legend says that humans have. We people who read this book get to know a lot of strange things about what really moves under our feet, deep down there in the narrow, sulphur-smelling passages of the underground. But if you are very afraid of going to the dentist, you should probably stay away from this book. Unless you're looking for a good thrill!
