About the Book
THE TALES WITH TAILS - Bed-time stories Written by Victoria Prokhorenko Translated by Danial Saari Illustrated by Anastasia Zhakimova Proofread by Oxana Kuchsh The text of tales includes seven little stories that are read before falling asleep each day of the week. The bed-time stories are printed in Russian and English. True authors of fairy tales live in castles with high towers and there over a cup of cocoa write stories for children. They have a pen and funny hat. I have no castle, no pen, and no hat. But I have a little son who likes fairy tales but cannot write them himself. Therefore, I have to do this. Although I know how he would have called the main characters: Bumbala and Dumbala. They will certainly meet you in the pages of this book! You should only close your eyes and listen carefully... Happy reading and nice dreams!
