Hitler's canary af Sandi Toksvig

Very decent and witty childrens book with a refreshingly civil tone. Good illustrations and a beleiveable storyline but with some faults: Uncle Johann breaks character by both chasing the servantgirl and confessing his love of Mom without any repercussions. The name of the paper Berlingske Tidende (Berlingske Times) is reproduced as "Berlingske Tiden" meaning either "Time of the Berlingske" or "The Berlingske Time", The meaning of BOPA is given as "Borgerlige Partisanar"/"Citizen Partisans" which is as correct as can be but omits both the detail of Borgerlig having the double meaning bourgouis(name of the Danish rightwing) as in non-communists and "ar" being the Swedish ending to plural nouns.
The author misspells some placenames and ends rather abrupt but overall a good read.… (mere)
