Abetka. /twelfth edition/. (ABC)

"Abetka" ("ABC") is one of the most significant books by the publishing house, the history of "A-BA-BA-HA-LA-MA-HA" started exactly with it. This edition of the ABC was in an unsurpassed way illustrated by Kost Lavro – the chief artist of the publishing house. His authentic and so classic already images touch and charm for life. It seems that they have always existed and that it was about Lavro's hares and kitties that they sang over our cradles...

"I invented this ABC somewhere in autumn 1990 or in spring 1991 when traveling on a train from Kyiv to Frankivsk. It started in a way dramatically different from all soviet ABCs of that time – not with a shark, not with an aquarium, not with a bus, but with an ANGEL..." (I.Malkovych).
