Children — and adults too — usually don't realize that they are surrounded by a fantastic world that is simply not large enough to be noticed. The adventures of Karik and Valya take place in a world of giant insects and plants. At every step dangers lie in wait for them, but everything ends well.
The book allows the reader not only to enjoy unusual adventures directly connected to the real world, but also to become acquainted with many insects. These small and defenseless creatures appear in Jan Larry's work in a completely different light. It turns out that insects can be frightening and dangerous, and there is much that is interesting and unusual about them. Nature proves more fantastic than any fiction. But the struggle for survival in an enlarged world is not the main point — the main point is the friendship between the children and Professor Yenotov, their curiosity and fearlessness.
This adventure book is a true encyclopedia, presenting amazing facts about the plant and animal world in a simple and engaging way. A multitude of questions are explored in a thrilling and captivating form: how many ants live in an anthill? And is aphid milk tasty?... In the world of insects there are heroes and anti-heroes, with whom an entertaining and educational acquaintance awaits the reader.
