Gingerbread man and the Modravka River + Gingerbread man on the road

Medovníček and the Modravka river: Another meeting of children with the elf Medovníček, who this time gets to know the life around the Modravka River. He meets a kingfisher bird, is caught by a sea eagle, carries Animuk and Vasek carp from the pond to the river and rescues a small puppy. But he doesn't forget about the bees and other animals in the forest and tries to help them all. Simply, Gingerbread Elf has a lot of work to do and never gets bored. Gingerbread man on the go: This time the popular elf Medovníček will become a traveller. He makes friends with wild geese, who carry him far away, all the way to Holland, where he meets his friend Barvin the elf, who takes care of the tulips. But he also has holiday adventures at home with his friends Animuk and Vasek the carp, as well as with the mischievous pike Pastika, who wants to drown him. Ale Medovníček je statečný skřítek, nikdy se nevzdává, a dokonce se naučí plavat… Jan Lebeda (* 1936) je český pedagog a spisovatel knížek pro děti. He is constantly developing his series of fairy tales about Medovníček, and today he has already written almost 10 books about this elf, including several leporellas. He also writes fairy tales and poems about bees, nature and animals. Jitka Molavcová (* 1950) is a Czech theatre and musical theatre actress, instrumentalist, writer, singer and reciter.
