Description

This collection includes the most famous and beloved poems for children (and adults) by Mikhail Yasnov: “The Mitten Smells Like a Horse,” “Chuchelo-miauchuelo,” “Hello, Tail-You-Stay!,” “Puppy Alphabet,” “At the Neighbors of Heaven,” “Child’s Time,” “Chudetstvo,” and many other fun poems, counting rhymes, and tongue twisters.…

“Yasnov has such a simple play with verse, and there’s always a double bottom in it, and always a second layer—there’s also this special lining that will smile only at the adult who reads the poems to a child. They are all multi-layered, like a ‘Napoleon’ cake, and they’re absolutely wonderful. He’s able to convey that feeling of childhood’s uncaused happiness, delight in being, pure delight—and the ability to rejoice in it like no one else.”

Marina Boroditskaya

“When I was little, I really wanted to become a poet. That stayed with me for life. When I grew up, I wanted to become a translator of poems. That also stayed with me for life. Then I started writing poems for children, and then more poems about poems for children. And all of this is now with me for the rest of my life. Life is just stuffed with poems, so life is interesting, fun, educational, and friendly. What else is needed?”

Mikhail Yasnov
