Published by \"Malysh\" in 1970, the story follows the adventures of a young Italian boy named Tonio who performs various \"heroic\" and endearing deeds to convince his mother that he is responsible enough to keep a stray dog named Palma. Bedarev's expressive illustrations—alternating between striking full-color spreads and dynamic monochrome drawings—wonderfully capture the lively, sun-drenched atmosphere of Italian city streets and the emotional journey of the young protagonist. The use of bold, graphic textures and stylized mid-century forms makes this book a standout example of Soviet children's book design of the era. Preserved in good condition in its original stiff cardboard covers, this large-format edition is an excellent acquisition for collectors of vintage children's literature, dog stories, and Soviet graphic arts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44527232712746,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_6235.jpg?v=1783017896","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/kardashova-a-tonio-and-his-dog-palma-tonio-i-ego-sobaka-palma-illustrated-by-g-bedarev-moscow-malysh-1970-in-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
