Death-Defying Journeys: The Fantastic Tale of Migratory Birds That Fly Half-Way Around the World
Fuglenes farlige ferd, den fantastiske fortellingen om trekkfuglene som flyr halve jorda rundt
Where do the birds go over the winter? This book tells the exciting story of the long and perilous journey that migratory birds make all the way from Norway to Africa – and just how they manage to survive.
Every autumn, millions of birds make the voyage from Norway to Africa. Some travel all the way to Antarctica! In the spring, the birds return – if they survive. Their long flights are filled with peril. In Death-Defying Journeys, we become acquainted with a selection of migratory birds, joining them on their long passage south in the autumn, and back to Norway the following spring. We learn about geography and nature along the way, and through both text and illustrations, the reader is invited to engage their curiosity for the natural world, both at home and further afield.
Andreas Tjernshaugen has written a playful and engaging book for children and young people, experty conveying his knowledge on the subject of wild animals and the environment around us.
