Grigory Oster: 38 parrots

The famous fairy tales from the cycle "38 parrots" about a monkey, an elephant calf, a boa constrictor and a parrot always raise many questions from young readers. If only because in the real jungle these characters cannot be friends in any way, and a boa constrictor will surely easily swallow 38 parrots, and a monkey is unlikely to share bananas with a baby elephant. But the children very well feel the similarity between themselves and these fabulous cubs of wild animals: the baby elephant is kind, but timid, the monkey is energetic and stubborn, the boa constrictor is strong and unsophisticated, and the parrot is smart, but too self-confident. However, they have learned to be friends with each other, and this is an example for all kids!
