The wonderful Don writer Yuri Alexandrovich Dyakonov entered the world of literature already possessing a wealth of experience working with children. His time as a camp counselor, an organizer of the first work and recreation camps for teenagers, and later as a school teacher forged a lifelong bond between the writer and his young readers.
Before you lies a wonderful fairy-tale story about a little girl named Zhenya and eight magic acorns. With the help of wire, matches, feathers, and poplar fluff, Zhenya's grandfather transformed them into Zheludino the boy, Zhelustrenok the little ostrich, Zhelurenok the little foal, and Zhelugavchik the little puppy—and they aren't just ordinary toys, but truly alive. You will learn how the brave heroes fought caterpillars in the forest, who they saved the insects and birds from, what the "Discovery of Kind Eyes" is, and why it is so important to treat nature with care.
The kind, amusing, and playful illustrations by Genrikh Valk will keep young readers engaged and help them get to know the habits, routines, joys, and worries of the forest inhabitants.
