25 Professions of Masha Filipenko

Third grader Masha Filipenko will not die of modesty. Nor from a lack of creative ideas. It is no wonder she was accepted into the Institute of Improvement. There, she, like a girl with an unclouded mind, is supposed to work on improvements in various jobs: for example, to find out why a tailor shop is not working well or where the fruits from the vegetable store disappear to. Masha skillfully masters professions, and in the end, she even helps the criminal investigation find a boy kidnapped by alien military. It is precisely children like Masha that the author of this story, Eduard Uspensky, loved. Because he was just like that himself. Illustrations by Ekaterina Muratova. For middle school age.
