Karl Oscar in harsh weather

What are mackerel clouds? Have you heard of cloudbursts? And how does lightning and thunder actually happen?

Karl Oscar the cat doesn't want to be alone at home when the whole family goes on summer vacation. He hangs on the roof rack of the car and comes along. Suddenly, a gust of wind catches him and throws him far away. Karl Oscar spends an entire year finding his way home, and he has to be out in all kinds of weather. A spider follows Karl Oscar the whole trip. In short factual texts, he explains the different weather phenomena to us.

A fun and different weather book for the whole family.

The story of Karl Oscar, with full-page illustrations, has a drive to it and is not free from poetic turns, fortunately.

A brilliant weather book for children.

Line Sandvik, Hallingdølen

Beautifully articulated.

Kirsten Viker Lunde, Oppland Arbeiderblad

A different and poetic weather book.

Elisabeth Høye, Foreldre og barn

The two, Gjengedal and Wiken, are professionals in their respective fields. This they know. I couldn't help but exclaim, "Fy te katta for et vær"
