The Merry-Go-Round King

While adults doze off at the playground, children do not lose time for nothing: they turn into kings, princesses and dragons; they have time to fight and make peace, sink in a puddle and climb the highest mountain. Not only the mountain! They visit amazing distant planets! What can be easier if you have a magic merry-go-round at hand, capable of turning into a rocket by order of the Merry-Go-Round King!

Merry-Go-Round King is an exciting, dynamic and phantasmagoric rhythmic prose with lots of internal rhymes; it is a folk puppet theatre with a modern twist.

• Readers are blown by the dynamic and captivating story into a whirlwind of adventure and new friends.
• The book helps to look at the world differently and to understand that with a drop of fantasy and humor everything around starts to sparkle with fresh colors.
• The original illustrations by Natalia Shilo with a lot of funny details engross readers’ attention and make you look at them again and again.
