The results of this remarkable collaboration were a series of stunning picture books, four of which are collected and reproduced in full here, newly translated, together in one volume for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Circus\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eIce Cream\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHow the Plane Made a Plane\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eYesterday and Today\u003c\/i\u003e are overtly modern and graphically striking. Marshak’s joyful rhymes are visually built into Lebedev’s illustrations, where figures, objects, and even lettering are simplified into brightly colored geometric shapes. The four stories are a wonderful celebration of modern life, and continue to energize and inspire readers decades after their creation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tate Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032798183664,"sku":"9781849761024","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781849761024_p0.jpg?v=1763753382","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781849761024","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
