Ravn (Dyrebiografiserien) lydbok

We follow a raven that lives in the Norwegian mountains for one year, from the time it pecks its way through the shell of its egg in late winter until it settles with its mate on the branch in late autumn, after many dramatic events. This non-fictional tale has been enhanced by the distinctive strokes of Lise Myhre.

The book consists of an exciting, narrative non-fictional text, amusing illustrations and lots of facts/photos. Join in and experience the life of the fascinating black bird.

This is the fourth nature book that Borge and Myhre have worked together on. The first three books in the series are Brown Longear (Brunlangøre), The Red-tailed Bumblebee (Steinhumle) and The Golden-ringed Dragonfly (Kongeøyenstikker).

Aftenposten writes about The Red-tailed Bumblebee: ‘The stroke of genius in the book is the fine balance Synnøve Borge has chosen ebtween individual, variety and bumblebees in general. [...] And Lise Myhre gets better with each book in the series. Here there are both fine touches of humour and convincing, true-to-nature illustrations.’

REVIEWS:

“In Synnøve Borge and Lise Myhre’s Raven, the narrative is used as a device in a third, particularly innovative way. Borge’s language takes the reader seriously, and she shows us that a wealth of meaning and aesthetic ambitions have a place in children’s literature – and even in children’s non-fiction, too.” –Klassekampen

“In Raven the changing seasons create natural changes for the birds, and author Synnøve Borge and illustrator Lise Myhre make the most of the seasonal variations to introduce dynamism and pace to the story. Raven also has an underlying, suggestive tendency towards making ravens and people equals on an emotional level, and this works well. Myhre’s drawings are beautifully expressive.” –Barnebokkritikk
