Who is the most charming, most handsome, most intelligent and moderately well-fed man in the prime of his life? Of course, Carlson, a plump, funny little man with a motor on his back! Children all over the world know and love him. For his restless disposition, irrepressible imagination and desire to play pranks. But perhaps the one who loves Carlson the most is the Kid, because together they are never bored, because the main thing for Carlson is: “It needs to be fun and funny, otherwise I don’t play.”
