         Колекція англійських загадок

Діти люблять загадки , можливо через те, що для них весь світ – загадка. Вони ще пам’ятають  часи, коли навіть буденні речі ховали в собі нерозгадану таємницю.

Загадки англійською мовою допоможуть ще раз відчути бентежний подих незнаного, а деякі – просто насмішать.
