A small child at the beginning of his life needs not only nutrition, protection and close interaction with his mother, but also real human communication.
Irina Tokmakova's poems have come from the last century to the present and are still modern. They will be understandable and close to every child. Each poem can easily be turned into a game, and the lulling rhythmic repetitions make "Sleepy Elephant" a truly playful book. Read it on the road or on a walk. Even during a long and difficult trip, it will calm and distract the child. Irina Gavrilova's illustrations create a magical atmosphere of childhood. The book is so sensitively and subtly designed that even the words seem to sway on the waves of sleep, about to float away: "The elephant obscures the window. Or is it a dream? Ding-dong. Ding-dong...".
The book was included in the catalogue of the Gaidar Central State Children's Library "100 Best New Books for Children and Teenagers of 2020".
