The “Children's Library” series presents the best works of domestic and world literature for children from 5 to 16 years old. These are folklore and literary fairy tales, poems, stories and tales of outstanding classical writers. All works are included in educational programs in literature and are recommended by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation for study at school and independent reading. Victor Dragunsky's stories about Denis Korablev were written more than half a century ago. But they are still very much loved by young readers. Together with Deniska they celebrate the New Year, go to first grade for the first time, participate in school concerts, and win prizes in quizzes. Thanks to an inquisitive, restless and very sincere boy, every day spent with him is filled with many exciting events. Deniska will also tell us what he likes and what he doesn’t like, why a firefly is more important than a dump truck and what raspberries smell like when covered with morning dew. The book includes 29 stories about Denis Korablev. Illustrations by Alexey Bosin. Source:
