The second book by the wonderful modern writer about the mouse family of Kuțехvosts living in a dacha settlement. The little mouse Dandelion and his friend Mousegrub are in for new adventures. And it all began when Dandelion decided to swim across a puddle formed near the house in a matchbox… The box soaked through; Dandelion fell into icy water, but still managed to reach his friend’s little house. Mousegrub’s parents gave the injured one tea with raspberries and laid him on the stove to warm up. And then Mousegrub had a brilliant idea—to make Dandelion a hen. After all, a jar of mermaid caviar and a dragon’s egg had been bothering him for a long time! What came of it and how did everything end—read in the new fairy tale novella “Mr. Kuțехvost, Dandelion, and the Big Thaw.”
