MEET THE ANIMALS ON FARM! –THE Å, er det The animals on the farm are very different, both in size bare dere! and temperament: The Magpie likes almost everything and

everyone. The Pig is easy-going, cheerful and optimistic. The Rabbit is a curious, well-meaning type without strong opinions who is ready for just about anything. The Hen has a maternal instinct for the others, and the Horse is big and friendly. Together they take on bad weather, mysterious strangers and silly arguments.

– Ja. Vekket vi deg?

There are five books in this series. The latest book, Scared, is about tackling fear.

SCARED Original title: Redd First Published: 2013 Illustrator: Per Dybvik Genre: Picture book

The late Trond Brænne and his two adult children Bendik and Kaia created this unforgettable picture book series about friendship, animosity, xenophobia and belonging.

It’s winter and the wind is making a lot of scary sounds. The rabbit tries to calm her nerves by eating a carrot, which usually helps. It doesn’t work this time, so she goes to visit the horse. The horse is scared of the shadows and goes to visit the hen. The hen is also afraid, and together they go to visit the magpie. The magpie can’t fly in the strong wind, so together they all go to visit the pig. But the pig doesn’t understand what all the fuss is about. He simply wants to sleep.
