"When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that imagination meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive thinking. And what can develop the imagination better than fantastic stories and plots that can be found in fairy tales for children?"
– Albert Einstein
"Don't make me spill the beans!"

The book Fairy Tales: The First Seven by Uroš Petrović became a regional bestseller and was declared the best book in the field of children's literature at the 2023 Novi Sad Book Fair! (Most likely because of Aleksandar Zolotić's illustrations, but that doesn't matter!)
"You can grow up without reading fairy tales, but I'm not sure into what..." ̶ Uroš Petrović
"If these are fairy fairy tales, then I am a black belt in karate!" ̶ Ljubivoje Ršumović
"Do you have anything normal for a back cover?" ̶ Mina Kebin, editor
"Put the same text as last time; just change The First Seven to The Second Seven"! ̶ Uroš Petrović
Reading fairy tales improves concentration and memory, encourages development of the mind, imagination, and critical thinking, establishes empathy and self-awareness, develops language skills, and all this significantly affects achievements in education and life. During the time when education was oral and within a narrow community, fairy tales were created precisely for these reasons. They have always been an indispensable part of children's education and growing up, and every new era brought new fairy tales.
Now it's time to become acquainted with the other seven Fairy Tales by Uroš Petrović.
