We know Axel Scheffler well from his illustrations for "The Gruffalo" and other books by Julia Donaldson. His characters turned out so wonderful and bright that they became iconic in children's literature, and last year Great Britain even issued stamps for the 20th anniversary of the creation of "The Gruffalo". Germany did the same, because the artist lives in England, but is of German origin.
But today we will talk about other heroes of Scheffler - the bunny Chika and the mouse Briki. The age of these heroes is approximately the same as that of three-year-old children. Together they come up with games, experience sorrows, learn to be friends, be tactful, support each other. There is little text here, but these stories are capacious, giving many reasons for discussion with children, and at the same time they are completely devoid of moralizing.
We have this series in our store in two versions: hardcover on coated paper and cardboard books. Both versions are very well published, in books with the same titles the pictures and text are completely identical
