Handwritten miniature children's magazine created by an unknown child.

The issues include fairy tales, short stories, verses (by Russian children's poets), riddles, rebuses, magazine subscribers' drawings, and 'readers' letters'. According to these letters, the child made this magazine in the countryside, where they spent their summer holidays. In the 'Our Post' column, the child wrote about missing their friends who were in Moscow. The first issue features a comic called 'Strange Illness' about a pelican who swallowed balloons and an old version of the well-known Russian folk tale 'Teremok' (No 1), where animals lived in a horse's skull. The magazine uses pre-revolutionary orthography.
