Description

At the center of the novella “Kikerik,” as in other books by children’s writer Masha Weissman, are family and children. “Kikerik at Home” tells the adventures of a toy, in the voice of the toy itself. Everything happens during the last summer days before Kikerik’s owner, the girl Shanya, will go to school. Kikerik can read Shanya’s thoughts, her parents’ thoughts, the thoughts of forgotten old toys, the thoughts of a May beetle—he even hears conversations that bitten-off apples conduct among themselves! This completely unusual creature is amazingly observant and responsive. He will feel sorry for an old bunny with missing ears and teach him to be happy; he will find Shanya’s lost red slipper; he’ll sympathize with a tired mom...

Kikerik keeps making discoveries. He’s interested in everything. He gets into different scrapes, learns that sometimes—when it’s scary—it’s also very fun...

But for him the scariest thing is to get lost and end up staying at the dacha while everyone goes to the city…
