The Adventures of the Hryullops Family

Stories about the restless adventure-seeking family of pigs named Hryullops first appeared in the USA in 1957. The Hryullops marked the beginning of the career of Alsatian artist Tomi Ungerer, who later became one of the most famous illustrators of the 20th century, a winner of the Andersen Award, and the author of over 140 children's books - with text in 30 of them! The Hryullops build rafts, obtain alternative fuel, explore caves, get captured by Indians, fix motors, and... always return home to mom's cake. The elegant, simultaneously concise and full of humor and minute details illustrations tell stories just as well as words do. And the texts are perfectly suitable for first readings.

This book of five stories has already been published by «Samokat» and is being reissued to the delight of growing readers and everyone who appreciates children's books.
