This activity book is dedicated to the principles of physical education and features two sets of exercises, each accompanied by short rhyming verses and illustrations demonstrating how to perform them. The exercises include movements inspired by figures such as 'the pioneer stance', 'the monkey', 'the dancer', 'the woodcutter', 'the squirrel in a circle', 'the Suvorov cadet', 'the Georgian girl', 'the Uzbek girl', and more.
Little is known about the author, who may have also created the illustrations. What is known is that in the late 1950s, five children’s books in verse by Aleksandr Severnyi were published.
