SuitabookPro Mashenʹku i goroshinku
Sofʹi︠a︡ Abramovna Mogilevskai︠a︡
- Reading
- Pause at the shift in size and invite your child to picture one familiar garden object at pea scale. Then read on together to see how the travellers respond to the changing landscape.
- Themes
- A changed scale: Mashenka shrinks to the pea’s size, and the back yard takes on the scale of a strange landscape. The premise invites imagining how familiar surroundings might appear from a very different scale.
- Worth knowing
- The escape involves a rooster that wants to eat the pea, while frogs, ants and bees are presented as giant creatures to avoid. How frightening these encounters feel is unclear.
