Mishka-Toptyzhka

Once upon a time in the forest, there lived a good little bear named Mishka-Toptyzhka. Cute, clumsy, and big-footed. Other animals teased him for his lack of grace, and then Papa Bear taught the little one a magical spell that helps become strong and agile. But this spell must be pronounced after doing morning exercises.
Mishka-Toptyzhka was persistent; he really wanted to be agile and strong. Gradually, he became the most athletic in the forest - because he tried! And of course, the spell helped a lot.
The cute athlete Toptyzhka and other inhabitants of the forest were illustrated by Alexey Barsukov.
