The Clever Mat. Fairy Tales and Stories

For decades, children have been reading the fairy tales and stories of E. Permyak. This wonderful writer possessed a truly folk-like talent. He shared his admiration for the world around us with young readers and taught them to treat all living things with care. And he succeeded in instilling this admiration and love in many of them. His fairy tales and stories call on us to respect hardworking people, to cultivate a love of work ourselves from an early age, and to love our native land. Our book "The Clever Mat: Fairy Tales and Stories" in the "Children's Reading" series includes the works "What Are Hands For?", "The First Little Fish," "Filea," "How Masha Grew Up," "Grandfather's Character," and others. Illustrated by the distinguished graphic artists V. Chizhikov, E. Bulatov, and O. Vasilyev.
