Happy New Year
Author Alf Prøysen
Publisher Melik-Pashaev
I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical about this book at first. I mean, it's a small, softcover book with a simple design. But as I started reading it with my daughter, I realized that sometimes the simplest things are the best. The story is about a family of mice getting ready to celebrate the New Year, and it's full of fun and festive details.
Happy New Year. Alf PrøysenThe illustrations in this book are absolutely delightful. Vladimir Suteev's style is so recognizable and charming, and the way he brings the mouse family to life is just wonderful. My daughter loves pointing out all the different mice and their antics, and I love watching her imagination run wild.
Happy New Year. Alf PrøysenMelik-Pashaev Publishing House is one of my favorite children's literature publishers, and this book is a great example of why. The story is simple, yet engaging, and the illustrations are just beautiful. I highly recommend adding this book to your child's library.
I ordered this book online, and I was a bit surprised by the size. I expected a small book, but it's actually an album format with a dense glossy cover and pages. The price was very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the book.
Happy New Year. Alf PrøysenThe translation of this book is also worth mentioning. Yuri Vronsky did a great job bringing the original Norwegian text to life in Russian. The poem is fun to read and remember, and my daughter loves repeating the lines with me.
Happy New Year. Alf PrøysenOne thing that really stood out to me about this book is the way it captures the spirit of the New Year.

My daughter loves the mouse family's preparations for the holiday, and I love watching her imagination run wild as she reads the story.
