Features: Dear little friends: Hello! Sister Ju Ping is recommending to you today the adventurous stories of Baron Munchausen. Baron Munchausen was a landowner in the Hanover region of Germany in the 18th century and came from a noble family. He had once served in the Russian army and was deeply respected by his friends. After returning to Germany, Baron Munchausen narrated many strange and humorous stories based on his own experiences. For example, how his horse was hung on the roof; how he used lard for hunting; how he traveled to the moon; how he was swallowed by a big fish and escaped; and how he fought with a bear for three days and nights. Most of the stories narrated by Baron Munchausen are exaggerated and are simply impossible to happen in our real world. Some little friends might say: Sister Ju Ping, boasting is not a good habit. Yes, little friends, we know that boasting is not a good habit. But what we can feel from the stories in this book is not Baron Munchausen's skill in boasting, but his rich imagination. I hope little friends will spread your wings of imagination and fly freely in the magical world depicted by Baron Munchausen.
