How Kolya's Parents Got a Two in Russian for Just One Mistake

Arthur Givargizov is called a "non-pedagogical" writer. Although he writes about school, he does it unconventionally, breaking patterns. Teachers and students often swap places in his stories, ending up in absurd, and sometimes completely impossible situations. But this is exactly what makes the writer's school stories so appealing, and this is why they are enjoyed by both children and adults. The collection includes the cycle "About Olya," as well as separate stories by Arthur Givargizov. Illustrations by the artist-illustrator and theater set designer Evgeny Podkolzin.
