Fourth animation about Gena and Cheburashka. Gena finds out that Cheburashka is unable to read. Luckily, the next day is September 1, the first day of school, and Gena decides to take Cheburashka to school so he can learn. After failing to buy a school uniform, they go to the school anyway, only to find it is closed for repair. Shapoklyak uses Lariska the Rat to stimulate the workers to repair the school quickly. As the school also doesn't have enough teachers, Gena and Shapoklyak volunteer to be teachers.

Back to school day or how I was much more productive on this "1st of September" than Cheburashka: -Went to school -Participated in TV series as an extra -Finished storyboarding for my next film -Watched this short
Very productive ngl🫡 Cheburashka didn't even enter the school
(All in one day)
