Telephone
by Kornei Chukovskii
translated by Kiyoshi Tanaka
illus. by Svetozar Ostrov
The phone hasn’t stopped ringing all morning: the elephant wants some chocolate, the crocodile wants more shoes, the monkeys want more books to read, and now there’s a call from the kangaroos. This rhythmical nonsense-poem, a classic from Russian children’s author Chukovskii, is full of humour and a joy to read aloud.
