Fjols loves hats! His flat is covered in all sorts of hats from all over the world: sombreros, cowboy hats, caps, top hats? you name it! One evening Fjols is getting ready for bed when he hears a scary noise that won't stop. The sound is coming from the floor above his own. Fjols begins to feel afraid; he's never heard a peep from the flat above his own before now. What if there is somebody up there who wants to steal all of his marvelous hats? "An exciting aspect of this book is that both children and adults are left with the idea that things jolly well are not always what they seem. Which is something that grown-ups would do well to remember and children had better learn. This is of course one of the fundamental elements of tolerance and acceptance of other people. At the same time, the book speaks a little about how, even if things look very weird, there may be no reason to feel scared.”Uriks
Tiril Valeur
Grandad is picking Lea up from school today, but they have to hurry because Lea has ballet class! When the time comes for Grandad to help Lea get changed, they get a suprise. None of Lea's pretty dance clothes are to be found in Grandad's bag, and Lea doesn't feel like dancing at all anymore. If only Grandad could find some way to persuade her. A sweet and familiar tale of what happens when a grandfather joins his granddaughter's dance class. 'Tiril Valeur amuses both children and adults with her vivid illustrations and colourful style. A terrific book for a child learning to read. [...] The central characters are great fun and the story both simple enough and good enough to sustain the enthusiasm for reading in the youngest children.'Fædrelandsvennen
