Where is this seen, where is this heard...

Cheerful, witty, and instructive stories by Viktor Dragunsky have become classics of children's literature. Not only parents, but even the grandparents of today's schoolchildren laughed at the stories told by nine-year-old Deniska Korablev about his friends, school, yard, and favorite city. The writer knew exactly how to amuse, mock, surprise, and educate the minds of his young readers. Denis and his friends find themselves in various curious situations and, while trying to get out of them, show resourcefulness, imagination, and sometimes even cheekiness, but are always ready to admit their mistakes and kindly laugh at themselves and their comrades. Kind and cheerful stories will teach children to fantasize and dream, empathize, analyze their actions, treat nature and its creations with care, and be able to recognize wonders in everyday life. And if some realities of the past century are incomprehensible to today's schoolchildren, explanations from adults will help children learn about how their peers lived before.
