All the animals of the Cmok family - Mateja Gomboc

BOOK FOR THE CANKAR COMPETITION 2025/26 IN 4TH AND 5TH GRADE OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Pija lives with her parents and two sisters in a block of flats in the middle of the city. She desperately wants to have an animal, but her mother says it's not possible. Then, coincidences lead her, first to animals that are only with them temporarily, and then to some that they keep. Even her mother softens, but her father never really had anything against it anyway. Soon, the Cmok family has so many human and animal family members that they could use a move into a house!

A friendly, cheerful, colorfully illustrated book that will surely appeal to all young animal lovers. With a witty story about a girl who really wants a pet, the author conveys that you have to be persistent, and sometimes a coincidence can come to your aid. The book is divided into ten chapters or ten stories from Pia's life in the circle of family and school, in which more and more animals appear, which of course provide numerous adventures and also some kind of accident and make life and reading dynamic.
