Наш русский язык. Детская энциклопедия

How and when did the Russian language appear? What do the words "sharomyga", "kibitka" and "zhalik" mean? Why do people speak differently in different parts of our country? And why did Peter the Great revise the alphabet?
In this new book of the children's encyclopedia series with Chevostik, beloved characters will get acquainted with the history of the Russian language. They will learn about its "ancestors" and "relatives"; hear how people spoke 900 years ago; understand what borrowed and obsolete words are and what literary styles exist.
The characters will meet historical figures who made significant contributions to the history of our literature: Cyril and Methodius, Vladimir Dahl, Mikhail Lomonosov, and Alexander Pushkin. They will remember the difference between glagolitic and Cyrillic scripts, and between Old Russian and Old Slavic languages. They will also see that speaking Russian can be done not only aloud or in writing, but also by using sign language, flags, and radio signals.
Who is Chevostik?
Chevostik is a cute character from a well-known audio project. Today, kids know him from encyclopedias. The series continues to release books that explain the structure of the world to children.
Children perceive information much better when a fairy-tale character tells them about the world. That’s why girls and boys love such encyclopedias so much.
Chevostik, along with Uncle Kuzya, takes amazing journeys into the world of sciences: physics, chemistry, astronomy, anatomy, geology, and others. He tells children about great geographical discoveries, the conquest of space, and magical chemical transformations.
For preschoolers and younger schoolchildren.
