The Great Big Mix-Up
by Kornei Chukovskii
translated by Kiyoshi Tanaka
illus. by Francheska Yarbusova
Kittens oink, sparrows moo, frogs fly and mice chase cats! In Chukovskii’s world, everything is turned upside down and around about in a great big mix-up! Tanaka’s translation effortlessly captures the rhythm and tempo of Chukovskii’s vivid, mimetic poetry, and Yarbusova’s lovely illustrations evoke traditional Russian folk art to complete this wonderful book.
