The Fur Boarding School (The Girl Teacher)

Here is another book by Eduard Uspensky. It was created for true lovers of fun stories. This time, the main characters are little animals who have gotten a tiny teacher. She explains all kinds of things to them simply and clearly—just the way children can explain: funny, not always exactly right and correct, but very touching and sweet. Uspensky uses wordplay and made-up words—the things that so often make children laugh.

In this fairy tale about a girl Lyusya and her furry friends, there is everything necessary for it to be liked and remembered for a long time. Adventures, friendship, an unobtrusive moral, and of course humor make “Furry Boarding School” one of the children’s favorite works across generations. And even though some realities from the bygone era have become outdated, there is still plenty of interesting in the fairy tale. Kind characters and a simple language, a fantastic plot, and an emotional presentation create the desire to plunge into Lyusya’s world and reach the end of the story in one breath. And at the end, the author prepares a small surprise. It turns out that the furry animals are not merely animals. The original twist-ending makes you smile once again.
