I vått och torrt is an adventure that poetically and easily explains the story of the toad Bufo. The fine illustrations are complemented by facts that are woven into the adventure. At the back of the book there is also a fact box.
Bufo longs for the water where he was born. Many thousands of new toads will soon hatch there. He decides to crawl there. But worry gnaws in the stomach. What if he meets a hungry snake? But he meets someone completely different.
The book has been fact-checked by Andreas Nord, Docent at the Department of Biology, Lund University. He considers it to be "... a fantastic book that brilliantly combines an exciting story with nature pedagogy!"
Eva Warelius' choice to highlight animals that do not usually have a high status is to raise awareness that they are links in biological diversity, but also that they are interesting in themselves. Her previous book Glida rant lieft för en snigel (2021) was granted literature support from the Norwegian Cultural Council.
"Brilliant!" thinks BTJ gives the highest rating!
