| Vladimir Zaglada's latest book, Gymmy the Owl and His Friends |
Do you want to know the difference between flexibility and plasticity? Find out why it is so difficult to do a handstand on a balance beam? Know what it is that your pet cat can do easily that you have to spend hours practising? Vladimir Zaglada's latest book will help you. A charming collection of poems and colourful, humourous pictures (by Katya Korobkina) explains some of the vital facts about gymnastics and is full of wonder at the gymnastic feats of the natural world as well as those we humans perform in the gym.. This book is for children, but parents and carers will love it too - it's perfect for a shared read.
The book concludes as the King of Beasts, Lion the Coach in his Dynamo club tracksuit, introduces himself:
"Gymmy's told me all about you
And he knows a thing or two.
You are all with gifts endowed,
And I know you'll make me proud."
This beautiful book is available at Amazon and also from Vladimir's own website. A Russian language version will be published very soon.
Happy reading!
