About the story
The Long-Nosed Beauty
What is beauty? Can we immediately see who is truly beautiful and who is not? What if beauty can be hidden deep inside us? The little monkey does not know this yet.
A fateful meeting with an alligator changes her life. Will she be able to see true inner beauty rather than only her long nose?

Original on Книги XXI ↗ I received the book today and we’ve already read it twice with the children. It’s so important to read things like this to children and help them understand from an early age that the most important beauty is inside us! And the pictures are a delight in their own right❤️

An interesting book for children aged 4 and up. The illustrations are impressive: bright and informative. I discovered lots of new animals myself that I’d never even heard of.
Original on Книгарня «Є» ↗ A wonderful, warm and very uplifting book!
Wonderful illustrations and text. Relevant to all age groups. Even adults will find something to think about.

My child is captivated by the illustrations in this book. They are both colourfully engaging and soothingly detailed, so my daughter can spend a long time looking at them carefully, asking about different animals and learning about them. The story is written very tenderly and movingly. I highly recommend it.
Original on Книгарня «Є» ↗ A wonderful book.
I bought this book when my daughter was 3½. She liked it and enjoyed looking at the bright illustrations and learning the names of the animals in the story. Now she’s 5½ and she’s still interested in this book. She understands what it’s about more deeply now. I share the author’s values and wholeheartedly recommend this little book.
