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.

Starting Kindergarten
Children's Books2024 · 40 pp · Age 0 - 6

Starting Kindergarten

Oda Weider-Krog

Starting kindergarten is a huge upheaval: both children and their parents have to get used to a whole new daily routine. So many exciting experiences lie ahead and there are so many new faces to meet! But what actually happens at kindergarten? What clothes do you need? What games and activities can you look forward to? And why do grownups have to go to work anyway? Starting Kindergarten is a richly illustrated guide for both children who are about to start kindergarten and their parents, with a focus on simplified language and attractive pictures. The book aims to give the very youngest children a kindergarten-related vocabulary and help them begin to understand what it means to start kindergarten. The warm, accommodating illustrations allow children to explore the different indoor and outdoor areas of the kindergarten for themselves.

The Bear

Roger Brendhagen / Ole Mathismoen

And did you know that bears are the only predator that poops on themselves if they are startled? Or that their favorite food is ants and berries? Do you know where you can find a bear den? Or why it's not a good idea to try to run from a bear? You probably know that bears can roar, but did you know that they can whistle? They can also grunt like pigs, moo like cows and bark like dogs. This is the first book in the magnificent series about Norway's wild animals, from the author of the award-winning bestseller Nordic Nature, Ole Mathismoen. Unique world-class photographs from Roger Brendhagen, with entertaining and engaging text. The book also has illustrations by the award-winning artist Esther van Hulsen.

They want to make the world a better place. And they choose to do so in different ways. In this book readers will meet heroes like Muhammad Ali, who was jailed for opposing the Vietnam War, Marcus Rashford who fights for free school meals in the United Kingdom, and Ingrid Olsdatter Vestby, the first female ski-jumper, who paved the way for other women.

Children's Books2024 · 52 pp · Age 6 - 9

The World’s Stupidest Animals

Hanna Nyborg Støstad

Fact book about stupid animals There are plenty of peculiar animals in the natural world. Some of them do things that seem downright dim-witted! But maybe they’re not so stupid after all… Some fish swim straight into the mouth of a shark. The woodpecker bashes its beak against a tree over and over again. Surely it must get a headache, mustn’t it? The kakapo is a bird that can’t fly. When it’s scared, it just stands around hoping no one will see it. The animals in this book might seem pretty stupid, but they actually have very good reasons for doing exactly what they do. Perfect for nature fans aged 6 to 9 years old.
