Крокодил

Rate this book
Представляешь: идешь ты себе, гуляешь по улицам с мамой и папой, никого не трогаешь, а навстречу тебе... Крокодил. Идет, папиросу курит, да еще говорит по-турецки?! Никто его понять не может, чего он там балбочет...
Все толкают его, обижают его. Рассердился Крокодил и стал всех подряд проглатывать. Один только мальчик Ваня не побоялся Крокодила и победил его!
Не всякий хулиган так страшен, как кажется. Даже если он и крокодил.

About the author

Korney Chukovsky

856 books49 followers
Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky (Russian: Корней Иванович Чуковский) was one of the most popular children's poets in the Russian language. His catchy rhythms, inventive rhymes and absurd characters have invited comparisons with the American children's author Dr. Seuss. Chukovsky's poems Tarakanishche ("The Monster Cockroach"), Krokodil ("The Crocodile"), Telefon ("The Telephone") and Moydodyr ("Wash-'em-Clean") have been favorites with many generations of Russophone children. Lines from his poems, in particular Telefon, have become universal catch-phrases in the Russian media and everyday conversation. He adapted the Doctor Dolittle stories into a book-length Russian poem as Doktor Aybolit ("Dr. Ow-It-Hurts"), and translated a substantial portion of the Mother Goose canon into Russian as Angliyskiye Narodnyye Pesenki ("English Folk Rhymes"). He was also an influential literary critic and essayist. (from: wikipedia)
