The Cheerful Tram

In this book, there are two very naughty girls, Belочка and Tamarочка, who swim in the sea without permission, deliberately get lost in the forest, and create a real flood at home. And another, very unusual girl, Fenka, even more... so—she eats nails and washes them down with kerosene. But that’s not all—it turns out that when you are very young, it’s easier to teach a piglet to talk than to learn the letter 'я' yourself.
 
“All children should frolic, have fun, never hang their noses, and never cry,” we read in Leonid Panteleev. Therefore, his stories for children turned out to be so cheerful, funny, and kind—filled with sincere love for little readers. The stories, poems, and fairy tales included in this collection are accompanied by illustrations from recognized masters of children's book illustration: Mikhail Belomlinsky, Olga Bogaevskaya, Yuri Danilov, and Ivan Kharkevich.
