I need some help from a Norwegian!

Post by Killswitch »

I have an English girlfriend but she's completely in love with Norway, to the extent that she's learnt the language and eventually wants to live there.

About a month ago I was talking to her about this and asked her how she managed to learn Norwegian while she lived in England and without taking any lessons. It turns out that she had a lot of help from a friend of her's and that she read a lot of Norwegian children's books. Including 'Spot the Dog'.

Her birthday is comming up really soon, and I want to get her a copy of the book because she's lost the one she originally had. The only trouble is that I can't read/speak Norwegian so I can't find anywhere on the internet where I can order it.

So, that's where I need your help. Can you possibly find somwhere that has this book and give me a link, or just a general pointer?

In English it's called 'Spot the Dog' but I think the Norwegian translation is 'Freckle'. Here's the illustration used for the English version (I'm sure it'll be the same)

Thnak you for your help!

Haha, I remember that book!! :D
But that's so damn long ago... I'll see if I can find any information about it.
I like logic, hence I dislike humans but love computers.

You ar doing a majorly good thing! You might also want to get her a more familiar book in Norwegian that she hasn't read... maybe (should I say it?) Harry Potter.

My wife was born in China and she didn't like the movies until I bought her the chinese edition... :D

It doesn't have to be that book... just something she has read and likes in English! 8)
Binarily speaking... it takes 10 to Tango!!!

It's more of a sentimental present rather than anything - thank you guys so much for your help!
