Clown School

«Clown School» — is a story about how newcomers are recruited to a clown school. These people, though no longer children, are completely illiterate. Before starting professional training, they need to learn to read, write, count, and reason. And in order not to spoil the future clowns, the classes must be conducted in a fun and unusual way. Their teacher, Irina Vadimovna, knows how to do this. The students themselves constantly suggest new forms of learning: puzzles for attention, logical tasks, riddles, and pictures for memory development. This is the kind of unconventional education that Eduard Uspensky offers for clowns. Illustrations by Ekaterina Vashchinskaya.
