Zhenya is a big little girl. On the one hand, she is the youngest in the family, even her beloved dachshund Vetka, and on the other hand, to braid her hair, her mother has to stand on a stool every morning.
In general, Zhenya is exactly like all other seven-year-old girls. She can't stand being looked at or considered special. She can peel potatoes so that the skin turns into thin long ribbons. She can sew on buttons - almost as beautifully as her dad. And she's also great at telling stories - because something interesting always happens to her...
In the fifth book, "One Hundred and One Ways to Get Lost in the Forest," Zhenya is visiting a real village - Mishka invited her to his place, where his grandfather lives. The friends immediately find something to do: they're going to pick mushrooms! The only problem is that it's very easy to get lost in the forest! What should you do if there's not a soul around? And even Vetka doesn't know where to run? Just in case, Mishka took with him the book "101 Ways to Survive in the Forest," woolen socks, and two sandwiches, so they certainly won't go to waste... But you still have to look for the way! All hope is on the Rescue Motorcycle and the Guiding Goat...
Maria Bershadskaya's books about a big little girl tell about Zhenya, who grew taller than the world's tallest basketball player, and about how great and how difficult it is to be different from others. Throughout the twelve books, Zhenya is still growing - she changes, matures. Dad tells her that every person, even if he has already grown up, still has some INNER GROWTH. Zhenya does not yet quite understand what she needs to do for this growth that is inside. Walk in the rain? Sing songs? Eat some useful nastiness? We have not understood this either, but maybe after reading these twelve stories, we will also grow a little?
