Lyudmila Ulitskaya once invented these stories for her children, and after many years her grandchildren also read them. They learned about the old tram, which dreams of the sea, about the Vegetarian Spider, who prefers strawberries to flies, about the Tadpole, who becomes a Frog, but does not forget old friends. These 'tales' will teach the youngest readers not to be afraid to dream and not to depend on prejudices, adults will be reminded that it really isn't hard to be kind, no matter what happens around them.
