Language Notes
Text: English (translation)
Original Language: Russian
From Publishers Weekly
Published more than 20 years ago and here presented to American readers for the first time, this episodic novel could be Russia's answer to Pippi Longstocking. A boy called Uncle Fedya ("because he was so serious") leaves home when he finds a clever, loquacious cat named Mr. Matroskin but is not allowed to keep him. They meet up with Sharik, an unfortunate hunting dog who also talks, and then all three set up a fine home in the country. There, triumphs and troubles befall them. The whimsical, spirited translation and the solidly structured chapters earmark this offbeat tale for reading aloud. Children will delight in the strange, fanciful characters, their unique adventures, unusual correspondence and humorous conversations. Stylized black-and-white illustrations provide amusing, atmospheric highlights. Ages 6-10.
