Buy Book "The magnificent monster. In 3 books. Book 1" in Ukrainian

The Remarkable Beast is the first book of the trilogy by S. Dermansky. The book tells the adventures of a girl Sonia, who is in the third grade, lives with her grandmother, and her parents are now on a business trip to a distant country. The story is designed for readers in grade 3 and above, that is, the age is about the same as the main character in the book. Although I can say if you read the adult – also not sorry.

Very appropriately, Sonya has a wonderful friend: a furry pink monster in blue polka dots, abbreviated – Chu Plastilinenko. And not terrible at all, in addition – a champion of molding plasticine rams. With his appearance, Sonya gets into a whirlwind of unusual adventures.

The book helps overcome childhood fears and understand that the most terrible monsters will not frighten those whose hearts are filled with a desire to help a friend.

The book is written with great humor, the child is sure to love it. There are even funny letters to the Supreme Cowards user glypachic vampire who has been assigned to watch Chu’s piddlypop. “Your Jachlivoste, Your Spinoocoste,” is how these letters begin, and end with a respectful “I shudder with terror” 🙂

There are a number of humorous characters in the book: for example, Kondrat Moiseevich Dandelion (or just Huba Buba behind his eyes) – the school principal, a passionate fan of chewing gum; the green babai Beast (we should say Grandpa Beast), Sonia’s relative – rocker-chemist Vova and others.

Until the last moment, the reader is excited about the Monster’s fate–or tossing him into Horrorland–but as a result of Chu’s good deeds and Sonia’s efforts, a happy ending does come.

The book has a hard cover, clearly printed text, thick paper, the font is not small, and the quality of the publication is good. There aren’t many drawings, but they give quite an idea of the appearance of the main characters.

Previously, in Ukrainian children’s literature, I had only known Vsevolod Nestayko and a few other occasional authors, but as it turned out, there is another very interesting writer with whom we had not crossed paths before. Probably because the pink monster somehow did not scare or attract me. But it’s a pity…

Because “The Wonderful Monster” is a perfect example of children’s monster literature without any superheroes, Hollywood and Bollywood winds, and aliens in shiny UFOs. Sometimes it’s enough to just go into the woods to meet something furry, pink and speckled. It’s cute and wonderful.

The friendship between Sonya and Chu, in my opinion, is a common result of the loneliness of a child whose parents left her with her grandmother and went to work. The girl lacks socialization, so she starts meeting all sorts of dubious and hairy types. She was also very lucky that Chu didn’t turn out to be some kind of glamorous ghoul.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve already learned the difference between monsters and horrors. And I’m already dreaming about how I’m going to start the next book in the series.

Amazing children’s books in their native language help children learn Ukrainian and love the Ukrainian language. My granddaughter enjoys reading these adventures and takes them with her to extracurricular reading.

The book is simply wonderful – it captures you from the first pages. The adventures are not just interesting, but also instructive. In short, read it, you won’t regret it! And most importantly, buy the whole trilogy at once, because you won’t stop at the first book.

This is a wonderful book. The language is superb. The font is perfect for my schoolboy to read. My child’s only complaint is the lack of pictures.
