One day, Danny went to the museum. He wanted to see what was inside. He saw Indians. He saw bears. He saw Eskimos. He saw guns. He saw swords. And he saw… DINOSAURS! Danny loved dinosaurs. He wished he had one. “I’m sorry they’re not real. It would be nice to play with a dinosaur.” “And I think it would be nice to play with you.” “Can you?” “Yes.” “Oh, good! What can we do?” “I can take you for a ride.” “Let’s go!” “Pardon me!” A policeman stared at them. He had never seen a dinosaur stop for a red light. The dinosaur was so tall… …Danny had to hold up the ropes for him. “Look out!” “He thinks you’re a car. Go away, dog. We’re not a car.” “I can make a noise like a car. Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! ” “What big rocks!” “They’re not rocks. They’re buildings!” “I love to climb.” “Watch out!” “Down, boy!” The dinosaur had to be very careful not to knock over houses or stores with his long tail. “Hop on!” “Look!” “All who want to cross the street may walk on my back.” “It’s very nice of you to help me with my bundles.” Danny and the dinosaur went all over town and had lots of fun. “It’s good to take an hour or two off…after a hundred million years!” They even looked at the ball game. “Hit the ball.” “Hit a home run.” “I wish we had a boat.” “Who needs a boat? I can swim.” “Toot, toot!” “Oh, what lovely green grass! I haven’t eaten any of that for a very long time.” “Wait. See what it says?” “Please Keep Off.” They both had ice cream instead. “Let’s go to the zoo and see the animals.” Everybody came running to see the dinosaur. Nobody stayed to see the lions. Nobody stayed to see the elephants. Nobody stayed to see the monkeys. And nobody stayed to see the seals, giraffes, or hippos either. “Please go away so the animals will get looked at.” “Let’s find my friends.” “OK.” “There they are.” “Why, it’s Danny riding on a dinosaur! Maybe he’ll give us a ride.” “May we have a ride?” “I’d be delighted. ” “Hold on tight. Let’s go!” Around and around the block ran the dinosaur, faster and faster and faster. “This is better than a merry-go-round!” “Phew! I’m out of breath!” “Teach him tricks.” Danny taught the dinosaur how to shake hands. “Can you roll over on your back?” “That’s easy.” “He’s smart.” “Let’s play hide-and-seek.” “How do you play it?” “We hide, and you try to find us.” The dinosaur covered his eyes. All the children ran to hide. The dinosaur looked and looked, but he couldn’t find the children. “I give up.” “Here we are!” “Now it’s your turn to hide.” The children covered their eyes. The dinosaur hid behind a house. The children found him. He hid behind a sign. The children found him. He hid behind a big gas tank. The children found him. They found him again, and again, and again. “I guess there’s no place for me to hide!” “Let’s make believe we can’t find him.” “Where can he be?” “Where, oh, where is that dinosaur?” “Where did he go?” “We give up.” “Here I am!” “The dinosaur wins!” “We couldn’t find him!” “He fooled us! Hurrah for the dinosaur! Hurray!” “Well, goodbye, Danny. ” “Can’t you come and stay with me? We could have fun.” “No. I’ve had a good time—the best I’ve had in a hundred million years. But now I must get back to the museum. They need me there.” “Oh. Well, goodbye.” Danny watched until the long tail was out of sight. Then he went home alone. “Oh, well. We don’t have room for a pet that size anyway. But we did have a wonderful day.”

J. Todd Harris and Mark Marcum plan to make an animated version of the 1958 children's book Danny and the Dinosaur.

This is a story written by Sid Hoff about a boy named Danny who goes to a museum and encounters a dinosaur. The dinosaur turns out to be alive and goes for a walk with him. The dinosaur helps people, obeys the rules of the road, does not eat lawn grass, and generally behaves like a very decent and law-abiding citizen. At the end of the day, after playing hide-and-seek with the children (the dinosaur is not very strong in this), he returns to the museum.

Over 60 books have been published about Danny and the dinosaur. The cartoon will include not only this story, but also other adventures of a funny couple. The authors noted that they consider this project as the basis for a franchise that can be in film, television, and theater, and also has great potential for thematic production.

When work on the cartoon will begin has not yet been reported.

Danny and his dinosaur friend

Publisher: Melik-Pashaev, 2020

My-shop

The collection includes three tales about Danny and the Dinosaur. An inquisitive boy named Danny goes to the museum. He considers Indians, bears, Eskimos, guns, swords. And, finally, in one of the halls he sees dinosaurs. Danny is a smart boy, he knows that these ancient reptiles have died out long ago, but suddenly one of the museum dinosaurs spoke to him. Danny was truly happy. Sitting on the neck of a new friend, Danny goes to the city. Perhaps the Dinosaur was even luckier than Danny. He enjoys ice cream, plays hide-and-seek with children, learns to follow commands with the Puppy with pleasure, does good deeds - he becomes a bridge over which you can cross to the other side of the street, and saves a crane operator in trouble. He even becomes a celebrity: when he and Danny come to the zoo, all the visitors, forgetting about other animals, consider only the Dinosaur. Of course, Danny would like to take the Dinosaur home with him. How great it would be to live together with such an amazing, huge and kind pet! But it turns out that the Dinosaur has a sense of duty: he returns to the museum because HE IS NEEDED THERE. And in parting, he says that together with Danny, he experienced his best day in many millions of years. The stories about Danny and the Dinosaur are rightfully considered classics of children's early reading. A single space of words and pictures gives

The Labyrinth

One of Hans Christian Andersen's most famous fairy tales is given in the classic full translation by Anna and Peter Ganzen, completed 12 years ago. With amazing illustrations by contemporary artist Natalia Akimova.

Haunted hotel

Publisher: Melik-Pashaev, 2020

My-shop

In the second book of the series, a wonderful red-haired family - dad Mick and his children Emma and Lucas - takes on a new detective investigation.

The Hotel at the Crab on Norderney is apparently haunted and therefore no one stays there. While Papa Mick is checking into a hotel, Emma and Lucas ambush him near him.

It's good that great-uncle Janssen had a perfectly equipped detective van especially for such cases. It has literally everything, starting with all sorts of technical innovations that allow you to see and hear literally through the walls, and ending with an impressive supply of food that can come in handy during a multi-day period of surveillance of a criminal.

And the ghosts don't keep you waiting. From their howl and roar, the walls shake and move. And they scare Mick's dad so much that he leaves the hotel in a terrible panic. But scaring Emma and Lucas is not so easy. In addition, they guess that under the guise of ghosts, dishonorable and insidious people are probably encrypted. They return to the hotel and, risking their lives, not only expose the criminals, but also save the life of a noble old lady.

The caterpillar that envied everyone

Publisher: Melik-Pashaev, 2020

May-shop

About what: a nondescript black caterpillar is so upset - all the inhabitants of the garden have something beautiful. The ladybug has a red back with black spots, the bumblebee has a velvet vest ... Only the caterpillar has nothing like that. She sighs enviously, is sad and does not even suspect that soon all the inhabitants of the garden will admire her.

What happened next? Guess?

The caterpillar was in for a surprise! She could not believe that such a miracle could happen to her - she turned into a butterfly. Now all the inhabitants of the flower bed admire its beauty.

In this exciting picture book, little ones will encounter familiar bumblebees, grasshoppers, spiders and more. All of them are drawn realistically, and therefore easily recognizable.

Publisher: Melik-Pashaev, 2020

May-shop

The spider is tired of sitting on her flower bed and she goes in search of adventure. Spiderling's friends Caterpillar, Ladybug and Bumblebee warn her of the dangers that lurk in the Great Garden at every turn. But Spider does not listen to them and boldly goes forward towards adventure! However, friends now and then call her for help, pulling the thread-spider web. And every time the alarm turns out to be false. What fools and cowards they all are! Or not? Indeed, if you look closely, they pull the Spider just at the moment when hungry birds, toothy fish and furry animals open their beaks, mouths and mouths to swallow the brave Spider. And then these "stupid and cowardly" unite and drive away the huge Frog, which hypnotizes the Spider with a look so that it finally becomes scared too.
