Usachev, A. A. Wrong fairy tales [Text]: Children under 6 years old are not recommended to read! / Andrey Usachev; [drawn by S. Gavrilov]. – Moscow: Egmont, 2018. – 48 p.
If your priority is books that bring you a good mood, make you laugh and at the same time encourage you to deepen your knowledge, engage in self-education and broaden your horizons, you are, of course, familiar with the name of Andrei Usachev. However, it is probably difficult now to find in the Russian-speaking reading community a person - whether a child or a parent - who could somehow miraculously avoid becoming acquainted with a living classic of children's literature. There is never too much of it; it is self-sufficient and perfect in any design, but with illustrations by the artist Sergei Gavrilov, the publication presented in the “City of Masters” series (Egmont Publishing House) shone even brighter and became even more original. Why are fairy tales wrong? Yes, because the master, with a decisive hand, pushes together heroes who would never have met without him: grandfather, grandmother, granddaughter and the whole four-legged company pull a fish from the river (instead of a turnip); the hungry Wolf eats a fly agaric instead of the lost Little Red Riding Hood (well, the gray one was almost right with the color of the cap); and besides the little gray goat, my grandmother also had other animals - all of them, as if chosen, gray... The catch is that only a trained reader can understand the author’s irony - one who knows “The Turnip” by heart and has read “The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish” carefully. And therefore, “Wrong Tales” is a book, although hooligan in places, but overall it is motivating, inspiring and instructive; you can and should simply instruct not in a boring way, but allegorically, winking slyly, with a mischievous sparkle in the eyes - as Andrei Usachev and Sergei Gavrilov did.

Big things always start small.
As a child, I dreamed of becoming a traveler. And I wrote this book in order - albeit on paper - to wander a little through the seas and oceans, to see lands never seen by anyone and to repeat the exploits of outstanding travelers and fairy-tale heroes.
