You are invited to explore an unusual and entertaining book from the “Creative Center” – Three, Four, Now!. This book has won the Award for Best Children’s Book at the Belgrade Book Fair 2023 and a Special Recognition from ULUPUDS for Best Children’s Book..
Have you ever played poetic hide and seek? Or engaged in rhymed puzzles and poetic dominoes?
Or perhaps navigated rhymed mazes, known as rhymorinths or exercised your memory through verses?
No?
Never?
Not yet?!
Of course not—because until now, nothing like this existed! That’s why Dragana Mladenović and Boris Kuzmanović have created a book with ten poetry games (poetry + play = poeplay). They are neither too easy nor too difficult, just right. Arm yourself with attention, engage all your brainpower, read with focus and enjoy yourself.
Are you ready? Three ... four ... now!
