Мы открыли нового автора книг для самых маленьких. На самом деле на книжках Линли Додд, писательницы и художника из Новой Зеландии, выросли уже несколько поколений детей. А в России ее имя пока неизвестно. Но, зная, какой магической силой обладают ее ритмичные, веселые стихи и живые, обаятельные иллюстрации, мы не сомневаемся — малыши от 2-х лет эти книги будут обожать. Знакомьтесь, это Пушок. Этот щенок — главный герой множества книг Линли Додд. И с ним постоянно происходят удивительные вещи. Вот он выходит гулять, и из каждой калитки к нему выбегает приятель: Барон, Макс, Поликсена, Валет, Сосиска... Всей компанией они важно вышагивают по улицам, и вдруг навстречу им… БАНДИТ. Да, такая встреча кого хочешь напугает! Чем же кончилось дело? Эту книгу перевела наша любимая Марина Бородицкая. А она мастер не просто точно перевести текст с английского языка, но и заставить нас поверить в то, что эти стихи были сразу написаны по-русски! Игры со словами, звукоподражания, ритмические повторы — то, что ценят родители в книжках для малышей, и обожают сами маленькие читатели. А иллюстрации! Линли Додд создает целую галерею портретов собак разных пород: они ведь не только разного размера, разных цветов, но и характер у собак тоже разный! И очень может быть, что, шагая по улице, вы встретите Пушка или кого-нибудь из его друзей.
