Features: This adaptation of "A Happy Childhood" is based on E. Schwarz's original work "First Grader." The story's protagonist is a (Soviet) little girl named Malusha, a first-grade student who is very adorable. It depicts how she learns, plays, takes turns as a class helper, listens to stories, and even gets into fights with her neighbor's children. These are all "small" matters, but they are portrayed so vividly and charmingly that each event is handled appropriately, and every problem is resolved reasonably, thus containing profound educational significance. Children love reading this book, and adults do too. From here, children can learn how to be like Malusha—how to help others and correct their shortcomings, how to be polite, how to be brave, and how to live in a collective environment. Adults, on the other hand, can learn how to treat and educate children from this book. The book is divided into three volumes: upper, middle, and lower.
