Dyr

Politikens Børnebøgers læs selv-serie rummer både nyskrevne tekster og bearbejdede udgaver af vores største titler, så de kan bruges til selvlæsning og læsetræning.Hos Politikens Børnebøger er nørden vores superhelt, og derfor er omdrejningspunktet for vores læs selv-serie nogle af vores absolutte yndlingsnørder, heriblandt Vicky Knudsen. I Vicky Knudsens tre nye læs selv-bøger skal vi se nærmere på nogle af de dyr, vi ellers ofte prøve at undgå. I Mikro-monstre skal vi kigge nærmere på nogle af de dyr, der normalt får os til at hvine højt af skræk med deres kriblende adfærd og lidt for lange følehorn.I Vickys optik er der dog ingen grund til at undgå hverken igler, lus, krager eller skolopendere – for de er hver især nogle helt fantastiske arter, der igennem årtusinder har forfinet deres overlevelse i naturen. Der er altså snarere grund til jubel end til panik, hvis der pludselig er en zebraedderkop på hovedpuden.

En super underholdende, en kende grotesk og ret klam Graphic novel/tegneserie om venskab og fjendskab. For teenageren SIVERT og hans udspekulerede kat, MØGMIS, elsker hinanden. Eller elsker at hade hinanden.Der er ballade på Engtoften. Ikke (kun) fordi Sivert flittigt bruger MØGMIS, som dørmåtte og syndebuk, og fordi MØGMIS ivrigt og nådesløst forsøger at gøre gengæld. Men fordi Ronny Romkugle, der bor længere nede ad vejen, er begyndt at mobbe Sivert. Det gør MØGMIS endnu mere hævntørstig og psykopatisk, for der er kun én, der må være led ved Sivert - og det er MØGMIS.Andet bind om Sivert og MØGMIS, der ligger i evig krig - når altså ikke der kommer kærester, bøller og dræbersnegle i vejen.Møgmis: Hævnen er sød og stinker af fisk vandt ORLAPRISEN 2023 i kategorien BOGEN, DER FIK MIG TIL AT TISSE I BUKSERNE AF GRIN :0)Dette 2. bind i serien om Møgmis er lige så sjovt, grotekst og underholdende som det første bind, og trods den til tider hårde tone ender det hurtigt med at blive en historie om at være ægte venner, "fair play" og om at elske sin familie, selvom de driver én til vanvid. En virkelig sjov efterfølger. Anbefales til indkøb.Lektørudtalelsen

A Best Book of 2020: The Washington Post * NPR * Chicago Tribune * Smithsonian A “remarkable” (Los Angeles Times), “seductive” (The Wall Street Journal) debut from the new cohost of Radiolab, Why Fish Don’t Exist is a dark and astonishing tale of love, chaos, scientific obsession, and—possibly—even murder.​ “At one point, Miller dives into the ocean into a school of fish…comes up for air, and realizes she’s in love. That’s how I felt: Her book took me to strange depths I never imagined, and I was smitten.” —The New York Times Book ReviewDavid Starr Jordan was a taxonomist, a man possessed with bringing order to the natural world. In time, he would be credited with discovering nearly a fifth of the fish known to humans in his day. But the more of the hidden blueprint of life he uncovered, the harder the universe seemed to try to thwart him. His specimen collections were demolished by lightning, by fire, and eventually by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake—which sent more than a thousand discoveries, housed in fragile glass jars, plummeting to the floor. In an instant, his life’s work was shattered. Many might have given up, given in to despair. But Jordan? He surveyed the wreckage at his feet, found the first fish that he recognized, and confidently began to rebuild his collection. And this time, he introduced one clever innovation that he believed would at last protect his work against the chaos of the world. When NPR reporter Lulu Miller first heard this anecdote in passing, she took Jordan for a fool—a cautionary tale in hubris, or denial. But as her own life slowly unraveled, she began to wonder about him. Perhaps instead he was a model for how to go on when all seemed lost. What she would unearth about his life would transform her understanding of history, morality, and the world beneath her feet. Part biography, part memoir, part scientific adventure, Why Fish Don’t Exist is a wondrous fable about how to persevere in a world where chaos will always prevail.
