Mongolia - Everyday life - Children's poetry
This picture book featuring rhythmic and visual poems by the highly popular Mongolian
author of children's literature, Zambyn Dašdondog, comes in the shape of a yurt
– a Mongolian tent-house. The first pages show the set-up of a yurt and the life
within. The concrete poems (poems, whose graphic form imitates the concrete form of their
subject) are about objects of Mongolian everyday life: haystacks, sleigh hills and New
Year's Eve. (5+)
