Three close friends—fourth-graders: Vasyok Trubachyov, Kolya Odintsov, and Sasha Bulgakov—lived, studied, quarreled, and made up just like millions of today’s kids their age, with one difference: it all happened in now-distant 1941. And let someone say that the events of long-ago days can’t be interesting to modern schoolchildren—tell me, can there really be a statute of limitations for such things as: friendship, mutual help, honesty, courage? All of this teaches and tells about the audiobook by Valentina Oseyeva, “Vasyok Trubachyov and his friends.” In the first book, you’ll hear about one academic year of the unflappable trio from 4-B—celebrating the New Year, publishing a wall newspaper, preparing for a hike, and other important events in the boys’ school life.
