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!
This large format book contains both of the tales, as well as The Quiet Tale by the same author. All of them are great for reading aloud at bedtime.
The story of the Silly Little Mouse starts with the moment when his 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 tried - with no luck. Only the Cat with his sweet meows and murmurs is able to please the Little Mouse. But a few moments later, Mama Mouse can't find her baby anywhere...
The Tale of the Smart Little Mouse starts where the previous one ends. With the Little Mouse being in the hands of the sneaky Cat...Will he find his way back home?
With color illustrations on each page, this book makes a real treat for toddlers.
In Russian language. Publisher: Ast (Russia). Large format. Hardcover. 48 pages.
