The Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors by E. Budeeva

We all sometimes get lazy, argue with close ones, and simply do not want to look at ourselves from the outside. Third grader Olya acted the same way until one day she found herself through a mirror in the Kingdom... of Crooked Mirrors and met her reflection, Yalo. In this kingdom, everything is opposite, and it is ruled by cruel and wicked rulers. To return home, Olya must learn to befriend, be brave, and responsible. The tale «The Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors» served as the basis for the famous Soviet film and still reminds adults and children how important it is to sometimes look at ourselves from the outside. The series «Books for Extracurricular Reading» is a selection of key works by Russian and foreign authors included in the school curriculum. The best works of children's literature with colorful illustrations will help instill a love of reading in the child.
