This nicely illustrated book contains several touching stories with child-like characters..
The first four are about a baby donkey and a little bear who are a bit naive but kind, and curious about the world around them.
The following stories are about the little elephant who used his long nose to get rid of the small fire in the forest. Since that time he decided to become a firefighter.
Finally, the last story in the book is about the talking Train from Romashkovo, who wanted to make sure that his passengers won't miss the beauty of a summer sunset, of a song of the nightingale and the wonder of first flowers of the lilly of the valley. So he kept making long stops so the passengers could enjoy the moments of beauty on the way to their final destination... This story may remind you of Thomas the Tank Engine.
These sweet stories were written for children by Gennadiy Tsiferov.
In Russian language, they are perfect for reading to toddlers and can be used by beginning Russian readers.
