Great introduction to Danish culture!

It is a great book, I would recommend it to those who want to learn more about Denmark and how to integrate into Danish culture. Nice language, beautiful illustrations, and easy to read. If you are considering a move to Denmark (or a marriage with a Danish person!), if you want to know what is so special about Denmark in comparison with other Scandinavian countries, this is a book for you.
