Jeg var glad i å lese denne boken fordi jeg prøver å lære norsk og jeg ville lese noe lett men en at skulle gi meg nye ord. Historien var interessert og jeg vet nå mer om kongene til Norge. Bildene er ganske vakre. Maleren som gjorde dem har talent! Overalt var boken greit og jeg anbefaler den til alle som er interessert i Norge.

I really enjoy the bilingual aspect, and since I'm actually trying to learn Norwegian I like that both texts are simple for that feature. The artwork is well done and expressive. But it is really geared towards kids, so there isn't a lot in the way of detail, each king (and one queen) gets a single two page spread, one page of text and one image, and since each single page entry has to be split in half to make room for the bilingual text, there's just sort of a teaser text for each ruler.
