Who is Chevostik?

Chevostik is a cute character from a famous audio project. Today, kids know him from encyclopedias. The series continues to publish books that explain the structure of the world to children.
Children perceive information much better when a fairy-tale character tells them about the world. That is why girls and boys love such encyclopedias so much.
Chevostik, together with Uncle Kuzya, makes amazing journeys into the world of sciences: physics, chemistry, astronomy, anatomy, geology and others. He tells children about great geographical discoveries, the conquest of space and magical chemical transformations.
