Gro Dahle

A new picture book by Gro Dahle and Svein Nyhus is always something to look forward to. Jenta receives a watch from her grandmother and develops a relationship to time. She encounters time as though it is something concrete. Time takes control over the whole family. Jenta throws the watch way and Time stops. But then after a while she has to call it back and reconcile herself with it. The story contains both poetry and drama. The pictures are expressive with little detail and simple figures. The book addresses a theme everyone has a relationship to and to which you can let your mind run free endlessly. From five and up.

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!

The Pinecone Vacuumer

Bjørn F. Rørvik

The Fox is cleaning his den and strive with one of his carpets. Piglet helps out with shaking it, but just end up getting the carpet even dirtier. Then they hear that the farty goblin Papp has gotten himself a really powerful pinecone vacuumer. "Can it be used on carpets?" Fox asks."It can be used for anything" says the farty goblin. But Papp does not want to lend them the pinecone vacuumer, and Fox and Piglet has to use their best trix to get a hold of the wonder machine. This is yet another book by the creative Bjørn F. Rørvik and illustrator Per Dybvig, more innovative and vivacious than ever. The story is absurd and surreal, a true gift to anyone with this kind of humour - children and grown ups alike! This is the fifth book about Fox and Piglet.

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

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
