LONDON’S TEDDY BEARS

Look, Krisztina Tóth’s book opens up to playful joy; look, if you just flip through it today, it comes alive, as if it were moving. Read it, it opens up to you with pleasure; don’t forget that wherever it opens, it opens up to childlike joy, playful words, flowers, if it rhymes with the colorful world… The essence resonates in the verse–-the taste, the honey of light, and in a moment, the rare, childlike wonder of language trickles out! You see nothing but words, tiny pictures, you see how the heavenly giraffe watches Marci bustle about during the day until he falls asleep in the evening – and yesterday passes, the Teddy Bears travel far away… In their dreams, like the beautiful arc of aeroplane poems, the big words fly, London’s Teddy Bears fly!
