Zhenya is a big little girl. On the one hand, she is the youngest in the family, even her beloved dachshund Vetka, and on the other hand, to braid her hair, her mother has to stand on a stool every morning. In general, Zhenya is exactly the same as all the other seven-year-old girls. She hates being looked at or considered special. She knows how to peel potatoes so that the skin turns into thin long ribbons. He knows how to sew on buttons - almost as beautifully as dad. And she’s also great at telling different stories - because something interesting happens to her all the time... In the eighth book, “The Case of the Checkered Bag,” Zhenya’s best friend Mishka finds a dog on the street. But not simple, but very, very sad and lonely. She lies in the snow with a checkered bag and does not let anyone near her. Where did she come from? And who is waiting so long? Zhenya, Mishka and other guys decide to become real detectives and find out who owns the checkered bag and what happened here. They will have to master the method of deduction, carry out the “Nightmare Day” operation, and also learn that sometimes, even if you seem to be doing everything right, then for some reason it becomes very awkward... Maria Bershadskaya’s books about a big little girl tell about a Wife who stretched herself taller the tallest basketball player in the world, and how great it is and how difficult it is to be different from others. Over the course of twelve books, Zhenya is still growing - she is changing, maturing. Dad tells her that every person, even if he has already grown up, still has some kind of INNER GROWTH. It is not yet clear to my wife what needs to be done for this growth that is inside. Walk in the rain? To sing songs? Any useful stuff? We also haven’t realized this yet, but maybe after reading these twelve stories, we will also grow a little? The publishing design is preserved in pdf A4 format.
