About the book: 2013 / Everyone has long known that children think differently. Their world is full of incredible adventures, and it is completely unclear how they grow into such boring adults. They are terribly impatient, and long stories with naked morals make them only yawn and count the birds outside the window. The famous French writer Bernard Friot was lucky: of course, he grew up like everyone else, but being boring is not his lot. In his miniature sketches, he describes a real child's life, where the teacher turns out to be a gray wolf, a son who is offended by his parents gives them farewell greetings from Mars and asks them to leave a parcel with sandwiches and yogurt at the door to the attic, and a parrot learns geography in order to fly to his friends in Amazonia. You are holding in your hands the second book - “New Impatient Stories”, where another three dozen short stories with ironic illustrations by Leonid Shmelkov await you. ... “New Impatient Stories” by the French writer Bernard Friot, following “Impatient Stories”, is in a hurry to tell about what is going on around.

But maybe the program still didn’t take something into account? A group of snowmen settled in the refrigerator and dragged the poor guy in, who was just looking for a piece of chocolate cake! Will the sweet tooth now become covered with frost and freeze?...Hurry up and open the book! You won't be bored!
