The most Beautiful Story

Brynjulf Jung Tjønn

Vera is out running by night. She wants to meet her little brother again. For that, she needs help from Syl. Vera runs fast, with her hair streaming out behind her. Quickly, quickly, down to the pond, down to Syl. Syl, who tell Vera the best stories. Syl, who brings little brother to life.Den finaste historia is both heavy and light, abstract and concrete, painful and moving. Together, Torseter and Tjønn have created a quite unique picture-book. 'This is a book you can read many times and discover new things each time. A classic book for all ages, in the sense that experienced readers will read into the text in ways that less experienced readers might not, but the youngest doesn’t feel cheated of anything because of that. Tjønn and Torseter’s fairy-tale world is a fascinating and moving universe.'DAGBLADET 'Den finaste historia is of such a character that, when I try to characterise it, starts to become difficult to write about with words without a certain ironic distance: Poetic and dreamlike, rushing, soaring, beautiful and sharp.'BARNEBOKKRITIKK.NO

Policeland

Erlend Loe

Kim shakes his dad awake, but dad doesn't feel like getting up. Instead, he tells Kim that children who get up too early on Saturdays are in danger of being arrested by the Get-up Police. When that isn't enough to quiet Kim down, Dad tells him that there are even more police departments to worry about. Like the Ask-a-Lot Police. Not to mention the Nagging Police. In other words, there are plenty of reasons to settle down and leave Dad in peace.Or are there? Policeland is a humorous play on the threats felt by adults, the fears faced by children and the fantasies experienced by both.DAGBLADET Very few writers can like Loe take a non-story of a fathers boring reluctance to get out of bed, and make it flourish in wildgrowing tales, both scary and exciting. Thore Hansens twisted drawings underline the surrealism with expressive and harsh satire. FIVE STARS OUT OF SIXBERLINGSKE TIDENDE, Denmark

The Wafflefish

Bjørn F. Rørvik

Fox and Piglet have borrowed a book about fish, with pictures ofall sorts of fish and sea creatures. Some of the fish look very funny, for example the Gurglefish. Others look very nasty to eat, suchas the Potatomouth, which is U.N.O.P – Unusually Nasty On Pizza. But there are also some which look remarkably good, and most tempting of all is the Wafflefish.Piglet fancies a wafflefish for dinner. So the two friends go on a fishing trip – but there may be more than wafflefish lurking in the deep.The Wafflefish (Vaffelfisken) is the twelfth book about Fox and Piglet. Here again Rørvik and Dybvig are in top form, as they have been right from their very first book, twenty years ago. 'The Wafflefish is good storytelling inspired by adventure, with funny animals given human attributes and weaknesses. This is a book that surprises, that we laugh at and grow fond of. In short: Quality fun for little ones.'DAGBLADET 'A fresh and fanciful fishy story which will delight readers of all ages.'BYAVISA FREDRIKSTAD

Lost and Found

Knut Nærum

Greger and Cosy Clown are with Grandma at the library. But when it's time to go, Cosy Clown is missing. Gregor looks for the library's lost and found. All of the lost items are recorded in a book, but Greger can't see Cosy Clown in there. That is why he must go downstairs to lost and found and look for it himself. There he finds endless, looming shelves of forgotten items, but that is not all. There is something far worse lurking down there: the threat of oblivion. Glemmestedet is about our dearest possessions and how important it is never to be forgotten. ‘This is an extremely beautiful and poetic story. The plot is familiar. … Knut Nærum uses simple, short sentences with distinctive wordplay and humour that we adults can also enjoy without it being too intrusive.’5/6, DAGBLADET‘Wonderful, imaginative and slightly scary story for children.’ØSTLANDS-POSTEN
