This is a 62-page small format book containing three popular stories in rhymes written by classic of Russian children's literature Kornei Chukovsky.
It opens with the funny story called "Moidodyr (Wash Them All), about the boy who didn't like to be clean so one day the sink started chasing him trying to wash him up.
The second story in the book is"Aibolit" - about the kind veterinarian known as Doctor Ouch and his furry patients. Finally there comes "Putanitsa" (All This Mess), which starts with the kittens who didn't want to be meowing any longer. They preferred to talk like little piglets, and they did! The ducklings followed them by switching to the frog talk... What happened at the end of this somewhat absurd story, you will find out once you get to the the book's final pages.
