Fables

The books of the "Extracurricular Reading" series are an indispensable helper for young students in their independent acquaintance with the world of literature. All works are published without abridgment. The works of the great Russian fabulist I.A. Krylov are known... and loved all over the world. This is a treasure of Russian literature.

Krylov's works. The book includes the very best and most understandable fables for young readers: "The Ant and the Grasshopper," "The Crow and the Fox," "The Swan, the Pike, and the Crab," "The Elephant and the Pug," "The Monkey and the Glasses," and many others. The texts of these works are accompanied by large bright illustrations that are sure to please children.
