KompasGuide KIDS Foreign rights catalogue Spring 2015 AWARD-WINNING BOOKS FROM RUSSIA N EW! POETRY Alexander Timofeevsky Illustrated by Marina Pavlikovskaya The Zoo 3+ POETRY – ANIMALS – ZOO A child who has been to the zoo at least once in her life will tell you that she dreams of all these animals moving into her house. Or at least one of them! ‘The Zoo’, Alexander Timofeevsky’s new collection of poems, makes this dream come true. The animals will not only come to live with you — they will talk to you, too. Each poem here is a portrait, a story of an animal who in many respects is like a human being, with its own worries, hobbies, fears and joys. And, of course, every animal has a character! This book is a great gift. Yes, 24 p., 170х200 mm to those who have known and loved Alexander Timofeevsky’s seemingly simple, witty and ISBN 978-5-00083-140-3 humane verses for many years — perhaps since they first heard the iconic ‘Gena’s Song’ from Cheburashka animated series (this lyric opens ‘The Zoo’). But also to those parents who simply want to introduce their children to the wonderful world of birds and animals. Thanks to Marina Pavlikovskaya’s sublime drawings it feels like you are not simply reading a book. The zoo around you is very, very real… KompasGuide has published two collections of Alexander Timofeevsky’s verses in 2013: ‘Later-Alligator’ and ‘Funny Geometry for the Little Ones’. soon Alexander Timofeevsky Illustrated by Liza Kassian The Clowniadа 6+ POETRY – CLOWNS Do you know there’s a country where everyone walks on their heads? Where parachute jumpers jump up, not down? Where clowns and wild beasts live, where you can meet Abracadabra, The Master of Soap Bubbles and even the Palindrome Dog. Well, there is, and it has now been thoroughly documented in poems by none other than Alexander Timofeevsky, the legendary author 40 p., 200х200 mm of ‘Gena’s Song’ from Cheburashka animated series. He called this ISBN 978-5-00083-147-2 land Clowniada. He thought he was going there just for a holiday — ‘you know, they say swimming is good there’. Once he started jotting down his holiday impressions, however, the poet was left almost speechless — that’s how extraordinary they were. If you are ready to believe in the most unthinkable and uncompromisingly funny wonders of that world, then this is a book for you. KompasGuide has published two collections of Alexander Timofeevsky’s verses in 2013: ‘Later-Alligator’ and ‘Funny Geometry for the Little Ones’.

Today Victor’s grandson is growing up, with, in Victor’s own words, «Harry Potter in place of the brave Indians of my Soviet childhood». Shenderovich’s poems are about everything at the same time but mostly about this: however times change, children remain the same mischievous, curious dreamers. 5-8 YEARS Nina Dashevskaya Illustrated by Elena Remizova soon Willy 128 p., 140х210 mm ISBN 978-5-00083-139-7 ’Willy’ received the prestigious Krapivin prize in 2014. 6+ BIKE – MAGIC – FRIENDSHIP N EW! A talking bike, forgotten giant-inhabited village, dreams of true friendship — did anybody not have this in their childhood? How about getting disappointed in the beloved dad (or mom, or a friend, sister, brother)? All of this happened to Sevka, the main protagonist of Nina Dashevskaya’s novella ‘Willy’. There was happiness, too, when everything seemed to fit together: the favorite bicycle started talking again, the tall girl was baking cookies and his father was a wizard once more. It looks like ‘Willy’ is made of many impossible things, and yet it’s all very much like a real life: if you truly believe in them, incredible things will happen. Nina Dashevskaya is a musician and writer. She plays violin in the Natalya Sats Musical Theatre for Children in Moscow, while her books are published by the major book publishers and receive various professional awards.
