LOCOMOTIVE
RHYMES BY JULIAN TUWIM
COVERDRAWING BY
LEWITT and HIM
LOCOMOTIVE is rather a big word for little people, the grown-ups may say, but this cheerful book from Poland is no ordinary 'youngster.' It is simply a book which the children will love-and one which they, better than any grown-up, will understand. For it contains three funny and musical poems from the Polish of Julian Tuwim.
The stories are called Locomotive, The Turnip and The Birds' Broadcast – and that is exactly what they are about. They are addressed directly to the budding engineer, gardener and ornithologist among the younger generation – but first and foremost to the book-lover and the poet in every child.
Narrator Mark Burghagen brings these poems in their original translation from 1938 to life in such a beautiful and heartfelt way that you can listen to them again and again and always discover something new! From melancholic and contemplative to witty and totally wacky. This is something you have to hear!
