Did you know that that the angora goat’s
best pick-up line is peeing on its own face? That spiders seduce their mates
with some catchy music and a steady beat? That penguins propose with pebbles?
Or that a stag uses its antlers as a tool to impress their fussy females? In
this book, Malin Hellebø and Camilla Kuhn focus on all the weird and wonderful
ways animals seduce their partners.
The book discusses everything from
mammals to amphibians to insects and is an entertaining and fact-packed
introduction to the remarkable world of nature.

Imagine you woke up one day with wings
instead of arms. Or that you could suddenly change colour like a chameleon, to
blend into your surroundings. In If I had
a tale, the author Mats Eldøen and illustrator Sindre Goksøyr play with the
idea of how the world might have turned out if we had a few more of animals’
skills.
This book is best read somewhere with a lot of open space, so you can discover for yourself what it’s like to have eight legs like a spider, or an elephant’s ears. By the way, do you know what an elephant actually uses its ears for? Find out in this fascinating non-fiction book.

Get to know all about dinosaurs big and small in THE DINOSAUR BUNCH. Rasmus Rex is a slightly anxious six year-old who lives together with his family in the big boggy forest. Rasmus is always being reluctantly dragged along on adventures by his best friend, Trym Troodon. Trym is six years old too, but nothing frightens him. And then there’s Grandma Rex. She isn’t nearly as sweet and elderly as she looks. Sometimes she can be downright deadly!
THE DINOSAUR BUNCH (1) THE EGG
Early one morning, Rasmus Rex rudely awoken by his friend, Trym Troodon. Trym has big news: His mum’s egg is about to hatch! Rasmus and Trym decide to take a shortcut through the boggy forest to get there in time. But is this very wise? On the way they meet some fairly fear dinosaurs. And when they come out the other side, a surprise is waiting for them…
THE DINOSAUR BUNCH (2) THE SWIMMING COMPETITION
Rasmus Rex is visiting the beach with his family and his best friend, Trym. Rasmus isn’t such a good swimmer, so when his big brother Robin challenges Rasmus and Trym to a swimming competition, it can’t possibly go well. All these rumors about a sea monster in the water don’t help either. It turns out to be an exciting competition, with plenty of Dino-surprises the whole way through.
In THE DINOSAUR BUNCH, Lars Mæhle and Lars Rudebjer have created a whacky dinosaur universe for little ones, jam-packed with fun and funniness.

The books are perfect for reading aloud and are suitable for young children who have just started to read on their own. At the back of each book there are lots of facts about all the dinosaurs featured in the story.
