Anka M and Anka P. T. March

One Anya lives in St. Petersburg, and she has a sister in Moscow. The second Anya lives in Moscow, and she also has a sister - the same thing in St. Petersburg. The second cousins ​​are similar to each other, like... Red Square and Nevsky Prospekt! Muscovites and Petersburgers are very different. This is found out by the heroines of Tatyana Marta’s stories, when they are guest alternately in both capitals.

less than seven hundred kilometers between cities - and people even speak a little different. In Moscow, for some reason, a white roll is called bread (although everyone knows that bread is black), but in St. Petersburg not donuts, but pushes, not entrances, but ceremonial. And in general, Peter, it turns out, could well be called Moscow.

Every reader of 8-12 years old easily recognizes himself in the heroines of stories. Girls fall into a series of funny situations caused by the difference in worldview. But behind the linguistic and cultural differences, behind comparing cities, for the joys and quarrels of the heroines, an important subtext is hidden: in order to learn to understand another person, you need to be able to look at the world with his eyes. In fact, this is what the book tells readers of primary and secondary school age, perfectly and slightly ironically illustrated by the artist Sergey Gavrilov.
