Nursery rhymes by Samuel Marshak have been loved in Russia for decades. Several generations of Russian children have listened to the Tale of the Silly Little Mouse and the Tale of the Smart Little Mouse!
Both of these tales are great for reading aloud at bedtime.
The story of the Silly Little Mouse starts with the moment when Mama Mouse starts singing him a lullaby. But he doesn't like it! So he asks her to find someone else to sing him a lullaby.
So his Mom calls for auntie Duck, then for auntie Frog, and, finally, for auntie Horse. But the Little Mouse is still not pleased.
Next, Pig and Chicken try - with no luck. Only Cat with his sweet meows and murmurs is able to please the Silly Little Mouse! But... a few moments later, Mama Mouse can't find her baby anywhere... Did Cat take away the Silly Little Mouse?
