Линли Додд – лучшие книги

Мы открыли нового автора книг для самых маленьких. На самом деле на книжках Линли Додд, писательницы и художника из Новой Зеландии, выросли уже несколько поколений детей. А в России ее имя пока неизвестно. Но, зная, какой магической силой обладают ее ритмичные, веселые стихи и живые, обаятельные иллюстрации, мы не сомневаемся - малыши от 2-х лет эти книги будут обожать. Знакомьтесь, это Пушок. Этот щенок - главный герой множества книг Линли Додд. И с ним постоянно происходят удивительные вещи. Вот он выходит гулять, и из каждой калитки к нему выбегает приятель: Барон, Макс, Поликсена, Валет, Сосиска... Всей компанией они важно вышагивают по улицам, и вдруг навстречу им… БАНДИТ. Да, такая встреча кого хочешь напугает! Чем же кончилось дело? Эту книгу перевела наша любимая Марина Бородицкая. А она мастер не просто точно перевести текст с английского языка, но и заставить нас поверить в то, что эти стихи были сразу написаны по-русски! Игры со словами, звукоподражания, ритмические повторы - то, что ценят родители в книжках для малышей, и обожают сами маленькие читатели. А иллюстрации! Линли Додд создает целую галерею портретов собак разных пород: они ведь не только разного размера, разных цветов, но и характер у собак тоже разный! И очень может быть, что, шагая по улице, вы встретите Пушка или кого-нибудь из его друзей.

А вот еще одна книжка новозеландской писательницы и художника Линли Додд. На этот раз - про совершенно очаровательного кота. Он играет с опавшими листьями, лениво подставляет солнцу свой черный живот. Когда же город засыпает, Тишка превращается в настоящего грабителя, крадущегося под покровом ночи. Желанная добыча не ускользнет из его цепких лап! Но однажды Тишка зашел слишком далеко, был пойман и пристыжен. Сможет ли Тишка-плутишка исправиться? Перевод Марины Бородицкой заставил стихи Линли Додд не просто звучать по-русски - эти стихи шелестят, свистят, рычат и дребезжат. В первую очередь именно звуки рассказывают нам историю плутоватого кота Тишки. И эти стихи хочется читать ребенку вслух снова и снова, наслаждаясь каждым словом. Отдельное удовольствие - рассматривать незамысловатые, на первый взгляд, иллюстрации к этой книжке-картинке. Однако каждая страница рассказывает свою историю (слева - стихи, справа - иллюстрации). Вы только присмотритесь, с какой любовью и тщательностью Линли Додд прорисовала и мельчайшие детали пригородной жизни, и такие разные характеры своих героев! Благодаря веселым, ритмичным стихам и забавным иллюстрациям ее книги о приключениях отчаянных и неизменно обаятельных домашних питомцев - собак и кошек - обожают дети по всему миру.
