LEO GETS A LITTLE UNCLE
Children's Books2014 · 56 pp · Age 6 - 9

LEO GETS A LITTLE UNCLE

Tiril Valeur

Leo is seven years old, and what Leo wants more than anything else is an uncle! A cool, funny uncle just like Even and Ivar’s. Then they could do cool things like going fishing or to the circus. But Leo only has Mum, Grandma and Arne, Grandma’s new boyfriend. Arne makes very good pizza. Grandma gets fatter every day. One day Grandma has some news – Leo’s finally getting an uncle! Leo får en liten onkel is a charming, moderately rude story about how not all uncles are as cool or grown up as we might want them to be. ‘The characters are funny and easy to recognise in the everyday situations depicted. The text is short, easy to read, funny, and I imagine that it is also a treat for seven-year-olds. That said, I would not hesitate to read this book to smaller children.’FÆDRELANDSVENNEN

Moulton and Me

Torill Kove

Moulton and me (Moulton og meg) is the tale of three sisters who wish for a bicycle. The girls’ parents are a little bit peculiar, and much of the story is spent depicting life for the girls in the neighbourhood alongside their parents and determined grandmother. They receive a bicycle, but not quite like anyone else’s. In addition to being a superb artist, Torill Kove has a feeling for words, focusing on articulating things in original ways and making room for comical little episodes. These elements transform her books into small masterpieces for the enjoyment of adults and children alike.The Animated Short that this book is based on was nominated for the Oscar Awards in 2014. “The adult reader will notice the retrospective approach, but I don’t think this evidence of the 60s and 70s will hinder a child’s experience of the book. The text and illustrations provide clear settings with plenty of scope for empathy.” Aftenposten “On the whole this is also a thoroughly original book with a lot of humour. […] And because the book alludes to something under the surface that threatens to be lost, it is exciting to read even without any outwardly dramatic action.” Hamar Arbeiderbladet

Survival Techniques for the Young Elderly

Klara Bøe / Petter Henriksen

The sixty-something year-old is approaching the quiet life of a pensioner. It's time to reap the harvest of all these years of fulfilling duties, surrender to old age and relax. That's what you think! Instead you realise that new expectations have grown up: the joyous ambitions for a rich life. Welcome to the hard world of the young elderly!There are lots of new things you have to master – or steel yourself against. This book shows you how. With a combination of friendly concern and biting ruthlessness, the authors describe the wide choice of roles which the young elderly are expected to master: Style icon (stay elegant); Globetrotter (see the world) Kitchen god or goddess (please your family and friends); Tough guy (control the physical decline); Intellectual (control the mental decline); Proprietor (manage property); Social animal (cultivate relationships with a growing circle of friends); Culture buff (keep up-to-date with cultural life); Play leader (spoil the grandchildren); Senior consultant (stay in the management network); Carer (give your own parents a dignified old age).A humorous slant at the many challenges of being a pensioner and how best to tackle them.

The Poplars on St. Hanshaugen

Bjørg Vik

In the years after the war, Elsi Lund is a young girl facing confirmation, friendships, infatuations, and the first tentative steps toward adulthood. She moves between new environments and crossroads — from the cramped tenement building on St. Hanshaugen to secondary school and gymnasium and experiences both the freedom and the limitations that come with them. Through Elsi, post-war Oslo is reflected: a city in transition, marked by class divisions, dreams, and the emergence of a new era. With her distinctive eye for detail, and with warmth, humour, and precision, Bjørg Vik portrays how small events can have big ripple effects in a young person’s life. The Poplars on St. Hanshaugen is both a historical portrait and a gripping coming-of-age novel — a story about longings, coincidences, and the struggle to find one’s own way. The Poplars on St. Hanshaugen is the standalone continuation of Small Keys, Big Rooms, and the second volume in Bjørg Vik’s unforgettable trilogy about Elsi Lund.

Roleplay

Roleplay

Matthijs Holter / Ole Peder Giæver

A factbook on role-plays – how they are played and how they are created. Role-play and live action games are forms of storytelling that are more exciting than film and computer games, say those-in-theknow. Many young people are interested and play, but there are very few games and worlds that act as an easy introduction for new, curious players. Rollespill is more than just a factbook about role-play featuring player codes, history and exciting ideas for creating your own roles and characters; in the book there is also a game that you and your friends can develop and through which you can travel wherever you like! ‘This book provides a great overview of this hobby for a younger audience. It also looks at the transition from children's usual role-playing games to role-playing as a more organised activity. The book is great to look at, especially inside, and contains a just the right amount of text written using good and appropriate language. Although I haven’t been part of this target group for quite some time, I consider this book a great buy and "worth trying" if you want to recruit future role-playing geeks. The book is also useful for laying to rest the worries of skeptical parents and other adults, and presents roleplaying as an equal (if not better) alternative to video games.’IMAGONENG.ORG ‘In short, Rollespill tells you some the most important things you need to know about role-playing: everything from the most basic terms and tips for introducing a roleplaying evening to the history of role-playing games. It is of course possible to read the book as an introduction from A to Z, but your understanding will only reach a higher level when you actually try role-playing games in practice. This is why I think it was a very appropriate choice of authors – role play veterans Matthijs Holter and Ole Peder Giæver have created a comprehensive do-it-yourself guide to role-playing games.’SPILLPIKENE.NO

Samira and the Skeletons

Camilla Kuhn

Samira strongly protests when her teacher tells her that everybody has a skeleton inside them. 'Not me!' Samira declares. And not her best friend Frida, either. The rest of the day is horrible. To think that Samira and everyone around her is walking around with a skeleton inside them! It doesn’t bear thinking about. Luckily Mummy has some advice. She lays Samira down on the kitchen table and fetches a bucket and some tools. Surely Samira is happy now? A playful, witty and ever-so-slightly scary picture book from Camilla Kuhn. “Kuhn has a wonderful perception of the people she draws [...] Kuhn is familiar with the art of making things bigger, presenting exaggerated close-ups and shamelessly cutting images. The result is funny illustrations where the teacher is no more than a pair of legs, only to appear on the next page as a cruel monster that won’t stop lecturing about the wonders of the human skeleton. Kuhn’s illustrations and text almost seem to follow a child’s imaginative thought process – they are unregulated and whimsical. A book which is both warm and enthralling.”Numer

Restraint

Stig Sæterbakken

Andreas Feldt meets his oldest daughter, Marit, to take care of a financial matter. It has been years since they last saw each other. Seeing her again brings him out of balance, and in a confused moment he tells the daughter that he is divorcing her mother. This impulsive lie does not only destroy the conversation with the daughter, but also put doubt in his own mind about his own existence, shaped by routine and the people around him. A glaring suspicion awakens. It is like he has a blind spot in his memory. Is there something he has forgotten, something he does not want to, or is not capable of remembering? Restraint (Selvbeherskelse) can be read as a burlesque comedy and a dark tragedy. "Stig Sæterbakkens Restraint is a intensely exploring novel. That people loose self control happens all the time. And you are supposed to have certain feelings. But what if restraint is the only think keeping you from loosing your mind? (...) With his fourth novel Sæterbakken envisions his abilities to describe some of the least graspable aspects of human existence. Stig Sæterbakken himself appears as an insightful, independent and artistically reflected novel writer, with a book that you can only congratulate him on writing."DAGBLADET

Siamese

Stig Sæterbakken

"The light had gone out in the bathroom when I entered this morning. He had of course not noticed. He was sitting there in the pitch dark and chewing gum, like he always does, when I opened the door and the light from the hallway that fell sideways into the room cut him in two - I could see the back of the chair and the back of his head, nothing more - silver gum paper sparkling like valuable, swirling silently around his chair." In a typical suburban apartment lives Erna and Edwin, an elderly couple. He is blind and paralyzed from the waist down, and spends all the hours of the day in a chair in the bathroom. He thinks, chews gum and is tended by his wife. They have little or no contact with the world around them, and keep terrorizing each other in old and habitual patterns. They are both the "I" in this gloomy and absurd chamber play.
