Don't Swim Too Far

"Have you ever eaten gryushi? No, not pears, but gryushi!" This line has long been recognized by generations of readers as belonging to the poetry of Grigory Krzhizhanovsky - a classic of modern children's literature, a poet and translator. But,... of course, not only because of it. In his translations, we read the best of English poetry for children, from Edward Lear to Spike Milligan. He has received many awards for his children's books, including the Korney Chukovsky, Samuel Marshak, and Edward Uspensky prizes. His new collection "Don't Swim Too Far" (which includes some of his older poems) is a true adventure for the reader, full of joyful play and unexpected discoveries. In it, we will find out very important things for ourselves. How does a thrush sneeze? What does a snail think about? And where, finally, does summer go?
