Description

An attractive book, printed for the children of Armenian diaspora in Istanbul includes poems and didactic games composed of puzzles with animal motifs.

The author of the poems Varderes Garakēōzean is a contemporary Istanbul based Armenian modern poet, who studied in Paris and Yerevan. He was also known for his children’s books. The Animal Games is his known early work, which was reprinted in 1970 in Paris.

This is a good, unused example of a classic children’s didactic book.
