Why doesn’t the moon fall down?

Dennis Siva Lie

We’re back with 52 new questions children often ask, this time about science. How much does a cloud weigh? Who invented the internet? How many trees do we need to make one toilet roll? And why does the slice of bread with Nutella always fall with the Nutella-side down? Dennis Siva answers these questions, and 48 others. Siva is a biologist and known from the children’s science programme Newton, and is skilled at explaining science to kids. Why doesn’t the moon fall down? is educational, easy to understand and humorously illustrated, and a perfect for beginning to teach science to children aged 6–9. The entire series is illustrated by Leonard Furuberg, who has a playful and accessible style reminiscent of Pixar/ Disney animation.

Close up: Life under water

Jannicke Wiik-Nielsen / Dag O. Hessen / Line Renslebråten

See life under water with completely new eyes in this non-fiction book for the whole family! See pictures like you've never seen before - look a tadpole in the eyes, or take a look at their teeth. The unique images are magnified up to 15,000 times through a special technique. Here you will learn how jellyfish poop, and how crabs talk to each other. If you dare, get close and familiar with their claws! Did you know that crabs both smell and taste with their claws? Or that there are crabs who can climb trees? Or that some shrimp actually brush fish teeth? Incredibly, tiny zooplankton found in the North Sea, no bigger than a grain of rice, can form swarms so large they can be seen from space. And did you know that there are animals without heads? They are not as scary as you might think: Starfish are one of them. You've probably seen them, but hardly as close up as you can here... The pictures were taken in a very special microscope by researcher and scientist Jannicke Wiik-Nielsen. She has won photography awards for her pictures, and the texts are written in collaboration with Dag O. Hessen and Line Renslebråten, renowned communicators of nature science for both children and adults. This is a beautiful book full of facts that the whole family will enjoy. In addition to the special pictures, there are drawings of frogs, fish and crabs as we are used to seeing them. An exciting and educational book about an important and contemporary topic. A fact book that takes children's curiosity seriously. NOMINATED TO THE BRAGE PRIZE FOR BEST NON-FICTION BOOK FOR CHILDREN

All About Periods

Silje Sirnes Winje

Norwegian girls are ashamed of their period. A recent survey shows that more than half of us find it embarrassing to talk about our period. 62 per cent of us have received comments linking our mood to our period, and 82 per cent of 15 to 19-year-olds feel dirty when they have their period. A woman has more than 450 periods, or 2,250 days of menstruation, in one lifetime. We cannot accept that there are so many days in girls’ and women’s lives where many feel ashamed or are excluded from opportunities that boys and men have.16 famous Norwegian women and girls tell the story of the first time they had their period, and each story is accompanied by a fact box about different aspects of having a period.
