Rat smijehom

War with laughter: a fantastic and humorous novel for children

Kraljević lijenčina

Šišmiš i mala balerina

The writer in this real-life fairy tale, as in her other stories, is both a teacher and a prophetess. It describes the bat, our distant mammalian relative that flies out at dusk and flies at night.

Vrtni patuljak

This is a story about a little girl and her growing up, and about love, friendship, renunciation and loyalty of a garden gnome, of which there are quite a few in the city.

Gavran Mata

He was left alone in the world when playful hunters, hunting pheasants, shot from a double barrel and hit his parents, who were forced by the dogs to fly from the bushes where they were pecking at snails.

Priča o Vilmi Špigl

The story of Vilma Špigl was told by Melita Rundek, painted by Dražen Jerabek. It is one of those beautiful artistic illustrated stories that children should read to grow up, but adults should also return to them so that they don't stop growing up.
