Welcome to Zverinograd

An invitation to stroll through the city of Zverinograd on a weekend. Its inhabitants are animals, but they are busy with the same things as the residents of any other city. They go to the market, to cafes, to the pool, and to the skating rink, open exhibitions, and hold movie premieres. And, of course, they celebrate birthdays. The book opens with a layout of the city, and for the young reader, this is their first experience of abstract representation of reality. Then, as if zooming in, the reader examines individual locations. New characters appear on each spread, they interact with each other, and in the end, they gather for a birthday party. You can trace what each of them was doing that day, and then find them in the festive crowd on the last spread.
