Who could imagine that an insect as bad as a cockroach would become the hero of a book? The animals knew no worries until a "scrounger" appeared among them. It was then that everyone "ran through the woods and through the fields, frightened by a pair of huge insect mustaches ..." But… would the shy elephants and crocodiles expect that a lively little sparrow comes and saves them? The happy return to normality of the animal family has been illustrated by Russian artist Anastasija Mosina. The story is the prose version of a poem by the Russian Kornej Cukovskij.
