Ice Cream, written by S. Marshak and illustrated by V.Lebedev.









My stepfather told me this story and i really liked it.
It's about a big man who wants to eat ice creams.
He buys an ice cream to the vendor and he buys a second, a third etc...and finally, he eats it all but he's always hungry!!!
The merchant hasn't ice creams anymore so he calls all his colleagues to feed this strange big man.
The big man eats, eats, eats and more he eats ice creams, more he gets cold !!!
At the end, he ate so much ice creams that he turns into a snowman and it's so cold that the kids can ski ! :)


Circus " Tsirkus" by S. Marshak illustrated by V.Lebedev








While waiting to find the original copy ( very rare and very expensive ) from the 20's, i bought an Estonian version of this stunning book illustrated by one of my favorite illustrator : Vladimir Lebedev.
I have some very interesting Russians articles about Vladimir Lebedev and Samuil Marshak that i have to translate and post on the blog !
In the meantime... 
Enjoy !!! :)

Découpages, papercuts by Pierre Belvès, 1947.




















Pierre Belvès is a French illustrator who has illustrated some fifty books for Flammarion from the 40's.
I really like his choice of colors and the simplicity of his beautiful collages.
He also illustrated WONDERFUL books inspired by the Europeen folk costumes that i hope to show you one day !!! :)
