Hvalrossen

Beskrivelse

This is a follow-up to Fjellreven (The Artic Fox). A charming account of the walrus’ life far up in the Artic wilderness. The walrus is a social and playful creature that lives in large herds. They like nothing more than lying on the beach sunning themselves, where they lie packed very closely to each other like one large single body. They quarrel and show off, huff and snort, burp and belch, and poo on each other in a lovely mixture.
A well-illustrated reference book for children, written by Kirsti Blom and Kit M. Kovacs, who is a researcher at the Norwegian Polar Institute and expert on walruses, among other marine mammals. She har also delivered most of the lovely photos to the book.
