CUCUMBER SNAKE

Holidays and weekdays, typical and special life situations unfold throughout this book of poems – just like a cucumber snake cucumber. Whether it’s a birthday, Christmas or Easter, Mother’s Day or Children’s Day, a family camping trip, or perhaps the loss of a baby tooth – each of these is a very important event in a child’s life. Krisztina Tóth’s secret lies in her ability to express real children’s thoughts and feelings in a real child’s voice, with adult professionalism and lots of charm and humor. The poems are brought even closer to young and not-so-young at heart by Edit Szalma’s beautiful illustrations..
