“Thank you to Life is Dangerous! for inspiring the next generation of researchers. (…) At its best, nonfiction for children makes the facts seem like something close to magic. This is exactly what kind of book Life is Dangerous! is.”
6/6 stars. Oda Faremo Lindholm, VG

“A feat of strength of international standard”
Øystein Runde, Empirix

“the storytelling is uncommonly vivid … Teaching geology and biology in school will never be the same after this book!”
Anne Cathrine Straume, NRK

“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. Life is Dangerous! is a perfect book to read aloud. At the same time, 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. (…) Popular science of international standard”
Erle Marie Sørheim, Aftenposten

“Conveying 3.5 billion years of evolutionary history in 200 pages is no easy task. Accompanied by a quick-witted schoolgirl and a brazen dinosaur, however, the journey becomes fun, terribly exciting, and extremely educational — like a breathless roller coaster ride from the humble beginnings of the first amoebas to a safe return to the Zoological Museum. Facts are carefully sprinkled throughout an action-packed, well-staged graphic novel where colors and composition do justice to the detailed drawings, coming together impressively. If you are to own just one book about evolution, this is the one.”

“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.”
Egon Lågstad, Klassekampen
