Description

This book could just as well have been titled: “Krokodil Gena and his friends.”

But Eduard Uspensky, for some reason, called it “Krokodil Gena and his friends.” And the truth is—who’s really more important in the book, Cheburashka or Gena? Of course, it was Gena who came up with the idea of posting notices that he was looking for friends. But without that strange creature, Cheburashka, the company would have been far too ordinary.

And, really, among true friends there are no principal and non-principal ones.

Like among notes in a song. Or among letters in a fairy tale. Good friends—whether they’re crocodiles or people or dogs—make each other happy just by the fact that they exist.
