Disgusting
Children's Books2021 · 72 pp · Age 6 - 12

Disgusting

Alexander H. Sandtorv

Slimy snot, stinky farts, squirting diarrhoea and the sound of a knife scraping a plate. The world is full of disgusting things. But what are some really disgusting things? And why are they disgusting? The reader will find the answers in this book. But it comes with a warning! If you can’t cope with reading about truly disgusting, repulsive, stinky, slimy stuff, you must not buy this book! The book is repulsively illustrated by Linn Eielsen who has clearly channelled her inner stinking and anally fixated nine-year-old. The resulting illustrations are… well… nauseating.

Weird Facts About Europe

Håkon Forfod Sønneland

This is the ultimate guide to weird laws and customs in the different countries of Europe: all the things you’ve ever wondered about, or didn’t even know you were wondering about, when it comes to our neighbour countries. Did you know that the Olympic Games come from Greece? And that all the competitors originally competed naked? Or that chocolate milk was invented by a man in Ireland? Or that in Switzerland you’re not allowed to own just one guinea pig. Håkon Sønnenland calls himself an artist of ideas. That’s probably because he has so many peculiar ideas himself. You can read about some of them in this book. The book has lively illustrations by Jens A. Larsen Aas.
