Thanks to the work of the famous domestic writer Nikolai Nosov, the world of literature was replenished with another bright work - a trilogy about the adventures of Dunno. The first of these books is The Adventures of Dunno and His Friends. The summary of this colorful, kind and cheerful story can definitely lead to the thought of reading it. Introduce your child to the full version of the work, and you will have to reread it again and again.
Why do I want to read Nosov’s books?
Nikolai Nikolaevich, the author of the book, managed to become a favorite writer of not only children but also adults. All because his works are both realistic and fabulous, children are taught good, and adults are immersed in the warm atmosphere of a joyful childhood.
The idea of creating a book came to Nikolai Nosov when his son was born. He created in his mind original stories about the life of ordinary boys from the yard and told until the younger Nosov had grown up. “The Adventures of Dunno and His Friends” is why readers like it so much because they are close, understandable, and witty. The author’s love for children is read between the lines, and the books themselves are timeless, and the poem has not lost its appeal so far.
"The Adventure of Dunno and His Friends": summary
The events of the work take place in the Flower City, which is inhabited by little kids. They are called - shorties. This is because they are “about the size of a small cucumber,” so the surrounding flowers, grass, leaves, insects are simply huge. In these "jungles" the little ones adapted to live, build their houses, walk and even make scientific discoveries!
This small model of society, in which everyone is busy with a certain business, has his own character and is responsible for his actions. The only one who does not do this is Dunno. This prankster is able to disturb general peace with one of his appearance, but more on that later.
Shorties - who are they?
Acquaintance with all the heroes takes place gradually, depending on what kind of trouble the main character falls into, described in the work “The Adventure of Dunno and His Friends”. The summary of the book may fit into one of the titles of chapters (there are 30 in total). For example, the section “How Dunno was an artist” tells about what works it took him to comprehend the basics of art, and the chapter entitled “How Dunno wrote poetry” tells what poetic masterpieces he managed to create (the rhyme “stick - herring” was probably remembered to all readers).
The tale "The Adventures of Dunno and His Friends" tells of shorties as professionals or prominent personalities. Even their names match that. Here live: Znayka (a scientist, wears glasses and comes up with various scientific ideas), Doctor Pilyulkin (doctor), mechanics Vintik and Shpuntik, creative personalities of Guslya, Tubik and Tsvetik (musician, artist and poet), cooking lovers Donut and Siropchik, astronomer Steklyashkin . Features of the remaining characters can not be explained, these are: Toropyzhka, Grumble, twins Avoska and Sky.
Dunno and his team
A carefree and calm life of the Flower City is impossible without periodic outbreaks of mischief, intrigues and elimination of the consequences of the chaos caused by Dunno. This uneducated fellow is always there where something was smashed, someone was pulled by pigtails or teased.
He is not neat - his tousled head of hair always sticks out from under a huge hat, which the hero never takes off. Yes, and he lives on the principle of "why bed before bed, if again in the morning to make?".
It should be noted that such behavior is not a malicious intent. It is impossible not to know dunno for his misconduct, for he commits them out of curiosity and his childish immediacy. His friends are Donut and Gunka. It just so happened that they are not particularly useful to other residents of the city. And where, without a lady's heart? This is a button. It is she who begins the hard work of teaching Dunno reading and writing.
The adventures of the young hero are described by the book "The Adventure of Dunno and His Friends." A brief summary of his "victories" in the Flower City ends on how Znayka comes up with a balloon and residents are going to fly to other countries. Here the plot is just beginning to unfold and sends the reader along with the characters on an exciting journey with Dunno and his friends.
