Malenka.

How many activities little Malenka has! The girl is never idle: she washes herself, cleans her boots, feeds the cat, and sews a dress for her doll. 

And even when free from worries, the little fidget does not waste time: she collects mushrooms, catches butterflies, and learns to ride a bicycle.
The cheerful and kind lines of Galina Novitskaya accompany the light and dynamic illustrations of Alexey Pakhomov — one of the most talented domestic artists of children's books, who brilliantly succeeded in bringing to life vivid, sincere, and immediate images of childhood on paper.
