Text by Artem Golikov, illustrated by Elena Repetur
New five humorous stories about an endlessly inventive little raccoon, his sharp-eyed older sister, and a family navigating childhood discoveries, this time with a playful nod to museums, art, and culture.
The little raccoon continues exploring the world with unstoppable curiosity. For example, he discovers gravity while racing downhill on a sledge and opens his own museum at home to protect his treasured finds. Each episode transforms a familiar situation into an imaginative experiment driven by a child’s creativity. The museum theme adds an extra layer of fun. The illustrations by Elena Repetur are filled with visual surprises: famous historical figures, reimagined well-known artworks, and subtle cultural references that invite attentive readers to look twice. These details enrich the stories without turning them into lessons, making the book equally engaging for children and the adults reading along.
