: Collected in this book are Russian folk tales about animals. They are quaint and intriguing, and though meant for the tiny tots, will endear themselves to all. The birds and animals in them speak like human beings and they think and act like human beings. Some of the are good and others bad, some are brave and others cowardly, some are foolish and others clever. The splendid drawings of Yevgeny Rachev, whose brush takes us into a world of magic, are a job in themselves. (less)
