Colorfully illustrated book on cardboard with cut-outs and folding flaps. And everything is here, as in a real house - and carved windows, and a dark closet in which wheat is stored, and an attic, from where the tit bird plots, and ladders along which restless inhabitants scurry back and forth, and a cozy room where a cow hornless and strict thrush are saved from ... However, this is a secret. The story is almost a detective story, with robberies and persecution, impeccably translated by Samuil Marshak. The text, illustrations and layout match each other - so mischievous and cheerful, bright that the book is not just a book, but a book-joke and a book-game.
