The heroine of the fairy tale “Sweet Tooth Fairy Tale,” the girl Liis, like L. Carroll’s Alice, found herself in a world of wonders where cats, hedgehogs, squirrels, otters and rats talk. Readers and characters are constantly involved in a philological game with words (“lime grandmother”, “cat-leta”, by analogy with “photographs” “water photographs” appear). Liis, trying to keep up with the talkative animals, plays with epithets and comparisons in the same way enthusiastically: “frog fantasies... sharp as buttons. Or sticky, like strawberry jam.” The characters of the fairy tale boldly offer their own versions of the origin of various words (in the tradition of R. Kipling, the storyteller). “Sweet Tooth Fairytale, or the Tale of the Girl Who Met the Cat...” (in the original “The Cat That Eats Voices”) is published in Russian for the first time language in the proposed series “Estonian writers for children”. The book is addressed to children of primary school age.
