The yellow skittle stayed at home alone, the rest took the children in their backpacks and left for a trip. Skittle would also like to play outside with its friends. Then suddenly a clown appears, and they play in the puppet theatre together. Zlatka, a golden-haired girl, is behind her rocking horse, which creaks. Hop! The yellow skittle sits on its back. It's so fun to rock back and forth. Later, the skittle jumps into the pram with the doll, and they set off around the room. The car honks its horn and dashes off with the skittle around the table. After playing with the blocks, the skittle flies a paper kite and finally finds some little Skittles pieces from a board game. Then a door opens, children run into the room, and the yellow skittle greets its friends. The skittle was not sad that it went on the trip with its friends. I had great fun with new adventures and made many new friends!

MARKA MÍKOVÁ
Chinks. Cracks and fissures. They start to appear out of nowhere – in walls, in the ceiling, under the stairs, on the ground. People notice them, but only Matylda musters the courage to crawl into one of them. And then to another. To the secret passage below the church. And every time she finds herself in another place, in another world, in the future. In a world full of animal pictures and gentle music, where everything is friendlier, kinder, where she finds both her lost mum and an explanation of why she had to spend her early years without her…

The classic Czech book was first published in 1876. After that was published more than a hundred times. Aas. I read that book when I was a kid, and I was surprised by the unhappy ending. The world of little creatures is subordinate to nature. Life and death depend on their skills to survive and how they accept their destiny. The books for kids these days are full of independent heroes; this book is the opposite. It's different, maybe cruel, but more honest, finally.

The story is about a little brave girl called Emy who is new in the city. It isn't an ordinary place to live because she is in magical Prague. Old magic and fantastic figures live in a parallel reality that she discovers. The old wizard becomes her friend and their mission is to save Prague because there is the big enemy... the black Dragon. The story is about adventure, written with a light hand.

The book is full of Arabian myths, fairytales, and stories. The Argo Publisher has a whole edition of books like this—the history of storytelling from ancient countries and cultures. I was surprised by how open-minded stories are and how beautiful the world of jinns is.
