Cool Rescue Rides

Line Halsnes

After the successful Cool Machines and Cool Dinosaurs – here comes Cool Rescue Rides! Children love cool rides – and in this book you will find seven of the coolest emergency vehicles: fire engine, ambulance, police car, rescue helicopter, police motorcycle, lifeboat, and tow truck. In addition to this you get a closer look at the first aid kit – a very important part of all the seven vehicles. Drivers Ida and Hans tell us all about the different emergency vehicles, and we get to come along on a mission. It’s important to get somewhere quickly in order to help, and luckily all these vehicles have blue lights and sirens! Line Halsnes is an expert at drawing vehicles and machines with all the correct and important details. She takes the young readers seriously, and shows exactly how the vehicles look both inside and out. Her drawings are colourful, detailed and accurate, and readers big and small will gain new knowledge from this book. It’s also a book suited for multiple re-reads!

The thought of somewhere else being better for Granddad makes Miri’s heart clench. She decides to take matters into her own hands: Miri is going to bring Granddad back home. But how’s she going to get to Spain? Granddad and Miri is a wonderful picture book about friendship, longing and childlike creativity.

Stories

Kim Fupz Aakeson

Stories is the third picture book that Dane Kim Fupz Aakeson and Norwegian Stian Hole have created together. Three masterpieces, three beautiful and moving books to touch the hearts of children and adults alike. I open the door, and there stands Grandma. ‘Grandma?’ I ask. ‘Did you run away from the nursing home?’ ‘I’m thirsty,’ Grandma says, so I pour some ice water, and we sit out in the sun. Then I say, ‘Once upon a time’. She smiles. She nods. She says, ‘Yes, once upon a time’. But that’s all she says, a smile on her lips. I say, ‘A palace?’ Grandma is getting old. She can’t drive a car anymore, or even ride a bike. In the end, she’s not very good at remembering, either—or living in her big house all alone. But she’s still good at telling stories. A beautiful picture book about how stories and memories bring grandchildren and grandparents together.
