The Extraordinary Adventures of Karik and Vali

Imagine that you have shrunk to the size of a grain of sand and now everything around you: grass, raindrops, mushrooms, insects - seems tens or even hundreds of times bigger than you. This is what happened to Karik and Valya. After drinking a magic elixir, they shrink so much that now even a small bug seems to them the size of a five-story building. It's good that the quick-witted professor Ivan Germogenovich Yenotov realized what had happened and immediately went to look for the boys. A long, difficult and dangerous journey home awaits the heroes.
Never drink magic elixirs without permission!
The book is published for the first time with new illustrations, thanks to which the artist Natalia Demidova became a laureate of the International Book Illustration Competition “Image of the Book”.

Yan Leopoldovich Larry (1900-1977) - science fiction writer. His story "The Extraordinary Adventures of Karik and Valya", written in 1937, was an incredible success. The story was repeatedly republished and filmed. And it was written at the request of Samuil Marshak, who wanted to attract the attention of children to science and entomology - the science of insects. This is an incredible story about a brother and sister, Karik and Valya, who, after drinking a magic elixir, shrank to the size of a grain of sand and ended up in a "grassy jungle" teeming with giant insects. Dangers await the heroes here at every step. It's good that Professor Ivan Germogenovich Yenotov immediately understood what happened to the boys and went looking for them.
