It is clear that dancing needs nothing but a good blade’s edge, looking at stars just a slap, even though slipper animalcules do not necessarily need slippers, right? And a good volume of children’s poems needs frenetic game, plus rhythm, fun, sadness, floating, tricks, honesty, and intricacy. This book rearranges the children’s room, filling it with Danube breeze, with sneezing, balls of socks, gorgeous piranhas, and a lonely Uncle Toiler, with colour, flavour, that is, with a smile from ear to ear.
