Makh and Shebestova are the most ordinary students of grade 3 "B". Ordinary, but not quite, because they have a magic telephone handset that makes any wish come true. And when a magical object falls into the hands of children, then, of course, the most incredible things begin to happen around them. For example, with the help of a telephone receiver, Mach and Shebestova turn their friend, a dog named Jonathan, into a person so that he can go with them to school excursion. Or they themselves turn into hares in order to find out in more detail about their lives, as they say, first-hand, and get an A in natural history. And, of course, the magic telephone handset more than once helps friends teach the incorrigible hooligans and losers Dubinek and Vredek a lesson. The popular series about the adventures of Mach and Shebestova has been published in the Czech Republic in cartoon and book form since 1982 and brought its heroes extraordinary fame and popular love. Now, thanks to the wonderful translator Ksenia Timenchik, Mach and Shebestova “speak” in Russian, so our readers also have the opportunity to get to know them better. A funny boy in round glasses and a girl with a big bow, as well as their faithful friend the dog Jonathan, were invented the famous Czech illustrator Adolf Born and the writer Milos Macourek, well known to us from the cartoons about the circus lion Boniface, who went on vacation to his grandmother, and about the Hippopotamus, who was afraid of vaccinations.
