For these are books where the children can actively participate themselves, with their own creativity and experiences.” NRK "Anna Fiske has written the best children's book of the year."

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!
