A new, bold, playful take on old fairy tales from masters of children’s literature.
Remember how, as kids, you’d come up with all sorts of funny twists to poems: “They chopped down the oak at Lukomorye, marinated the mermaid in a barrel…”? And how many funny jokes and anecdotes did you invent about the heroes of your favorite fairy tales! It turns out that this kind of mischief is loved not only by children, but also by writers. Andrei Usachyov and Galina Dyadina created an entire book of hooligan poems and wrong fairy tales, flipped head over heels, offering such a fresh, audacious look at the classics that, as the disclaimer says, “Children under 5 shouldn’t read or listen to these fairy tales!”. Little ones first need to get acquainted with classic plots. But if you already know the classics—and you also have a healthy sense of humor—this collection will definitely give you a hurricane of good moods and vivid impressions!
The audio version of “Hooligan Poems,” full of drive and mischief, was performed by musician and composer Alexander Pinegin, actress and singer Larisa Brokhman, and the dubbing legend Olga Shorokhova.
