Description

Three beautifully illustrated tales from renowned Polish poet Julian Tuwim have been brought together in this charming book. Commissioned by Przeworski, Locomotive features the original poems "Locomotive", "The Turnip" and "The Bird's Broadcast", accompanied by illustrations from celebrated Polish duo Lewitt and Him.

As the train carriage chugs along, children learn about the people, animals and friends that go on board. They'll discover how many are needed to pull a turnip from the ground, and what happens when birds of all kinds gather in the woods. First published in 1939, Locomotive has been translated into French and English, bringing its bright colours and modernist-inflected imagery to new readers.
