Malo cestom, malo prugom

The book A Little on the Road, a Little on the Track: Traffic Education for 3rd Grade Elementary School Students by Velimir Dorofejev, with illustrations by Rudolf Borošak, is one of the classic didactic editions intended for traffic education for children. Written in simple, picturesque language, the book combines an educational and entertaining function, helping lower-grade students to adopt the basic rules of safe movement through the story and illustrations.

Dorofejev uses a narrative approach: through small incidents and situations on the road, near the railway or bus station, children learn about the correct way to cross the street, paying attention to traffic signs and the importance of respecting traffic rules. In this way, the book does not act as a manual, but as an interactive picture book that encourages understanding through recognition of their own everyday experiences.

Rudolf Borošak's illustrations complement the text with vivid, expressive scenes that make it easier for children to absorb information and contribute to visual learning. The didactic goal of the book is to create the habit of caution, responsibility and conscientious behavior in traffic.

A Little Bit of Road, a Little Bit of Railroad remained recognizable to generations of students as one of the first school books that turned traffic education into an interesting and life-like story, rather than a set of dry rules.
