Perhaps with this book you started your acquaintance with the concepts of "less" and "more", "longer" and "shorter", "one" and "many". Or maybe you have never heard of "The Adventures of Kubarik and Tomatic". In any case, if you have children of preschool age, Heinrich Sapgir's mathematical fairy tale should certainly be in your home library.
Almost forty years ago writer Genrikh Sapgir, methodologist Lyudmila Levinova and artist Vitaly Statsinsky created the book "The Adventures of Kubarik and Tomatic, or Merry Mathematics". The book immediately became a sensation. In the Soviet Union, there were quite a few popular science manuals for children, but to teach mathematics to kids who have barely learned to speak?!
Progressive parents on "Kubarik and Tomatic" were engaged with two-year-olds, grandparents prepared preschoolers for admission to the first grade. On forums dedicated to childhood books, "Kubarik and Tomatic" is remembered as one of the most beloved, "read to holes" books.
The book was not reprinted for a very long time, the last time in the 90s. And now, finally, the "Pink Giraffe" releases the long-awaited new edition.
Since childhood, we ourselves have dearly loved this book and have repeatedly searched for rare copies in second-hand bookshops to read and study with our children. So we understand well those parents who dream of introducing their children to Kubarik and Tomatic.
For the new edition, which preserves both the fairy tale, the poems of the great Sapgir, and the drawings of the classic book illustration Statsinsky, we asked Yulia Lugovskaya (developer of educational aids, author of books for learning to read about Pip) to come up with new tasks that children can do with their parents.
