Colored Chalks

This is a collection of stories for younger schoolchildren about friendship, funny incidents, and cheerful joint games.
The main character of the book, Yegor Smekhov, draws well, but cannot play checkers at all and dreams of becoming a clown. He and his friends learn to find common ground and support each other, argue and make up, fantasize and dream. Every day they learn something new.
Is it true that a boy must be a boxer or a football player? How to eat a whole cake without anyone noticing? And will the drawn elephants be able to escape from the hunters?
Leonid Sergeev wrote this book in 1968, but the stories about an ordinary boy, Yegor Smekhov, are still relevant today. It turns out that children have not changed that much - even after the advent of the gadget era.
The illustrations by Anastasia Svetlakova have breathed new life into these cheerful children's stories.
For younger school age.
