Read together and discover more. We recommend reading together with an adult who can assist with English words, allowing the child to describe what they notice in the illustrations. Select one topic at a time, providing space for questions, short breaks, and personal associations along the way. Revisit a spread that sparks interest; new details may emerge upon closer inspection. Connect what you read to things the child has seen at home, on a trip, or in a museum. The book can serve as a basis for conversations in Norwegian, even though the text and captions are in English. Let the child’s interest and reading experience guide the pace, and feel free to alternate between reading aloud and jointly exploring the illustrations. It is easy to share a discovery when multiple individuals can view the same spread and point out what they observe. Such a reading session can continue by finding another book or map to further investigate a question.
