Content. Pandas, penguin chicks, quokkas, and small marsupials are among the animals readers will encounter.

The large photographs allow children to study faces, fur, feathers, and other distinguishing features. The book also addresses endangered and near-threatened species and discusses conservation as part of the animals’ broader context.
Who is this book suitable for? Suitable for children who enjoy animal pictures and wish to learn more about the species behind them. We recommend reading a few short entries together and comparing animals from different environments. The book can provide a starting point for locating an animal on a world map or seeking further reading about a specific habitat. The English text and conservation notes pertain to the 2019 edition.
Read together and discover more. Read with an adult who can assist with English words, and allow the child to highlight what sparks their interest. Choose one spread or theme at a time, allowing space for questions, pauses, and personal associations. Pictures and text can be used in various ways; consider starting by describing what you see in Norwegian. Revisit a favorite theme during the next reading session and observe if you notice new details. Connect the reading to something the child has experienced, seen, or heard about, so new words gain a familiar context. A short reading session can extend into exploring a map or another book if a place or question prompts further investigation. Alternate between reading aloud and conversation, letting the child’s interest determine how long you spend on each topic. It is perfectly fine to browse freely between themes and return to the text when you desire more background information.
