This children's book features a poem about the importance of physical exercise for kids, emphasizing the need to begin each day with a workout right after waking upt, followed by wiping the body down with a damp towel. Uniquely, the exercises are described directly within the verses of the poem.
Published by the specialized Soviet publishing house 'Fizkul’tura i sport' ('Physical Culture and Sports'), the book served as a form of health and fitness propaganda aimed at children.
The delicate illustrations were created by Oleg Novozov (1926–?), who also worked as the chief artist at the 'Diafilm' Studio – a film studio that produced diafilms (slide films), a popular medium for visual education and entertainment in the Soviet Union.
