Engaging and thrilling stories with a detective plot. All cases concern the smuggling and trafficking of exotic animals, which are handled by a group of "child detectives" - with occasional and rather subtle adult help. The group of kids is made up of interesting personalities - boys and girls with diverse interests but with a common effort to provide the animals with just protection. Although the kids use all available modern means for their detective work, they are always based on natural childhood thinking learned through watching some TV series.

Interesting and decisive moments in the childhoods of prominent Czech personalities. For example, little Tomas Masaryk defended the truth as the highest value and almost got into a fight with the school principal. The Čapek brothers didn't much get along with they were boys because the younger Karel was mommy's boy and Josef was somewhat neglected. We see the ordinary, human and funny in each, no matter how respected the personality. Every great person has been angry, experienced joy and sadness sometime in their life.
