Overview
This light, hilarious story, sparkling with good-natured humour, will amuse both children and their parents. Our Vovochka is not the hero of popular anecdotes, but a real-life ten-year-old boy, spontaneous and indefatigable, an ever-inventive daredevil, who happens to be quite a handful for the grown-ups around him.
