The Alphabet Feast

Max Estes

All the letters of the alphabet are having a party, and are trying to find something to take with them. The birthday boy is Åsmund, the very last letter of the alphabet. All the letters have names and appear on the left-hand page as people in the shape of the letters they represent. On the right hand side are shapes and objects from the natural world that resemble the same letters. The illustrations are a combination of photographs and drawings. Alfabetfesten is an original and colourful ABC that will please both those learning the letters and those who are already familiar with them.

Ha ha, Hasse

Tore Renberg / Øyvind Torseter

Last year we met Ine and Hasse in Gi gass, Ine! This year we meet them once again in a new book, He he, Hasse. Ine and Hasse have a plan. They want to blow up the big stone on the ground. The one that gets in the way of everything. But for that they will need some dynamite. They begin by asking the elk. But he doesn’t have any left over. Then they ask the bear and owls and others they meet. But they don’t have any in stock, apart from the badger, and he is rather grumpy, particularly when he’s woken in the middle of the day. Tore Renberg’s words and Øyvind Torseter’s collage prints complement one another beautifully.

Here I Come

Anna Fiske

A picture book that shows that adventure can be just around the corner if you take the time to look around you! Bengt throws himself into an adventure and looks after all the things that he finds on the way, just like the Ash lad in folk tales. He uses those things to make his way further along on his exploration. He finds the skipping rope perfect for tying around the shark's mouth, whilst the fish get bread and the lion gets fish. In the end, Bengt finds a teddy bear and hurries back the way he came. He falls asleep in his bed – the whole adventure took place in his own back garden! Anne Fiske plays imaginatively with both words and pictures as successfully as ever. ‘A picture book about how adventure can be found very close at hand. All you need to do is look around you. Leif throws himself into his adventure, looking after things he finds along the way – just like the Ash Lad of Norwegian folk tales.’Foreldre & Barn ‘Her kommer jeg! is aimed at children aged four to eight years old, but the story and the funny, clear drawings also let older readers be delighted by the unpredictable world of imagination. Here everything is allowed, anything can happen, and it really does.’Oppland Arbeiderblad

Garmann's Secret

Stian Hole

Brage Award Winner 2010 Garmann thinks about the twins, Hanne and Johanne, how similar they are and yet so different. Hanne is nasty and teases the others. Johanne is nice and exciting to be with. She tells Garmann about a secret place that only the two of them share, a secret forest hideaway that they play in together. They draw with their fingers on each other’s backs, and Johanne confides that she sleeps with the light on. For a moment, time stands still. With sensitivity, Stian Hole portrays first love. Garmann's Secret is the third book about Garmann. For the first, Garmann's Summer, Stian Hole was awarded the Brage Prize, and was the first Nordic author ever to receive the prestigious Bologna Ragazzi Award in 2007.

Step on it, Ine!

Tore Renberg / Øyvind Torseter

This is the first volume in a new series of picture books by Tore Renberg and Øyvind Torseter. Ine and Hasse are sister and brother. Ine is the older one and can fix everything. Hasse doesn’t say much, only «yes» or «tractor». They are going to cut down a tree in the forest and Ine carries the axe, of course. Soon, all the forest animals turn up to find out what’s going on. The text is playful and charming, with overtones of jingles. The beautiful illustrations are based on cut-and-fold technique. One of the most exciting picture books in 2010! Gi gass, Ine received the Ministry of Culture’s Award for Best Picture Book 2010. ‘Perfect! … A beautiful and clever picture book. … Words and illustrations are in close dialogue throughout the book. The style, both verbal and visual, is innovative, poetic, playful. Renberg/Torseter make a good team…’Dagbladet

Hello Planet!

Anna Fiske

A new book to follow the smart, popular Hallo jorda! and Hallo byen! They are all «mingle-books», which provide unending interest – always something new to look at, or a new character to find out about. A creature settles on the planet because it is so peaceful, but, as time passes, new things keep happening, and more and more folk are moving in. Is there another planet somewhere? It is an impressive universe that is displayed in Hallo, planeten! And it is described with a great sense of humour. The pictures tell many stories in the same image.

What?
Children's Books2010 · 64 pp · Age 3 - 9

What?

Anna Fiske

The idea behind Hæ? is that both children and people with learning difficulties should be ableto enjoy it. The book is designed as a series of guessing exercises: you are shown a small part of an object or a place and asked to guess what the whole is like. The answer is shown on the next page.The idea has turned into a splendid book, unusual and varied, illustrated by a mixture of photographs and drawings. The answers are accompanied by amusing comments on the pictures. ‘Hallo Planeten! and HÆ? show a most welcome talent for passing on art on children’s own terms, without forgetting the adults who share the reading experience with the children. In other words, Anna Fiske has grown into a picture book artist who meets most requirements for becoming a well-deserved commercial success and a favorite among the critics.’Barnebokkritikk
