Customer Reviews

Discovery by Joseph Brodsky with drawings by Radunsky

What a feast of imagination! My daughter (7) really enjoyed that book. Now she is in the middle of her own discovery of New York but her eyes were opened even wider by the book. Such a delight to have Joseph Brodsky addressing young children. I'm ashamed to call Radunsky's work illustrations. The book was created by what journalists call "fresh pair of eyes," even two pairs! Thanks for the book.
