‘A tremendous journey through evolution. […] exemplary imparting of knowledge for young as well as for adult readers. […] While reading, I’m struck by how little I know, and how much I learn. A perfect book to read aloud […] the illustrations are so rich and entertaining in themselves that the book can be read over and over again. I believe, and hope, that it will evoke the love of reading and drawing in many children. […] imparting of knowledge of international standard’
Aftenposten
‘On the surface it’s about dinosaurs and lizards, but on the other hand, the subtext is about learning and motivation. The book is almost as much about the teaching method as what you learn.’
