The collection of fairy tales "Christmas Tree Number Four" continues the "Builder's Alley Tales" series, which began with the book "Roofs Are Flying!". These touching, profound, yet mischievous and humorous stories were written by Zulya Stadnik, a young but already multi-award-winning author from Tobolsk.
The main characters of the book are flying, talking two-story houses. They are as spontaneous and curious as children, and, just like children, they adore adventures. In this book, the houses celebrate New Year, play hockey with a manhole cover, look after a kitten, meet "colleagues" from abroad, and even lose some excess weight! They quarrel and make up, feel sad and fall in love, but most importantly, they help their residents (and the readers) understand important life truths, find inner harmony, and get along with those around them. A cozy, magical world with romantic flying houses that you will fall in love with from the very first pages.
Stunning watercolor illustrations by modern classic artist Vadim Chelak, printed on coated paper in a large format.
The subtle humor, wordplay, and witty dialogue will appeal to both children and adults.
There are no negative characters in the book, and all disagreements and disputes are resolved peacefully. Each story is an unobtrusively taught lesson of kindness and mutual understanding.
Unusual plot twists and an unexpected take on everyday things reliably hold your attention and provide an escape from daily worries.
