Crocodile

Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky did not immediately become a children"s writer, at first he was a critic, a researcher of the work of N. Nekrasov and did not even think of writing something else. And once he took and composed the fairy tale Crocodile. It was in 1916. Then other poems and fairy tales for children appeared, and the glory of a children"s writer, a classic of children"s literature, entrenched in Chukovsky.
Vadim Kurchevsky and Nikolai Serebryakov were directors of cartoons, screenwriters, artists and book illustrators. The drawings for the crocodile they painted together and laughed a lot, creating illustrations. And this fun was transmitted to the heroes of the book! The crocodile and the rest of the animals who captured Petrograd are not terrible at all, but, on the contrary, funny! They do not scare little readers. Yes, and the story with a formidable crocodile ends with a common holiday of children and animals!
Korney Chukovsky really liked the drawings of funny artists. Now this book is in front of you.
The book includes an article by Marina Kurchevskaya, daughter of the artist. From it you will learn about the work of artists on the "crocodile" and get acquainted with the masters of book illustration.
