On the Wide Limpopo

Korney Chukovsky believed that "children live in the fourth dimension" and it is necessary to speak to them "in the language of that other world," to "take on its images and peculiar logic." In this fourth dimension, events always unfold rapidly and unpredictably: here the phone constantly rings, sieves and plates jump across fields and meadows, while bears and other animals skillfully ride bicycles and various vehicles. Chukovsky's heroes are always in motion, caught up in a continuous chain of events. But the artist Anatoly Eliseev finds this insufficient. His drawings deserve a closer look. And then you'll find out the route of the little tram carrying the bunnies who are chewing gingerbread. You'll discover how the mice caught the cat, what unusual string the tadpoles are jumping over, and whom the flying frogs are carrying to southern lands. They carry them straight to Zanzibar, the Kalahari Desert, or to the Limpopo River. For preschool age.
