The book was illustrated by Evgeny Podkolzin, theater production designer. “I consider it very important to have both a graphic culture and a color scheme for a children's book, avoiding excessive brightness and luridness.

The book by the St. Petersburg writer Valery Ronshin contains funny fantastic stories about the cosmonaut-prince from the planet Ellonia, who flew to Earth in search of a princess; cosmonaut Yegor, dreaming of finding a beautiful planet, seen in a dream; the cashier Zemlyanichkin, who visited the moon and befriended the local monster Vya-vya; hereditary cosmonaut Igor, who got to the aliens. And also about the horse that set foot on Mars for the first time:
« - Why, why such injustice? - all the time my familiar horse complained to me. - Dogs flew into space, rats flew, even people - and those flew into space, but we horses did not.
“And because,” I answered her, “it’s very difficult to find a space suit for an astronaut horse; again, an astronaut horse will take up too much space in a spaceship. Not to mention the fact that a space trailer with hay will have to be attached to the spacecraft so that the astronaut horse has something to grump during its space travel. "

An excellent alternative list of children's literature, which you will want to return to more than once.

When we talk about Soviet children's books, Marshak, Chukovsky, Olesha immediately come to mind. Roughly the same set of authors that are usually read to children. But there are other excellent writers, whose books, it is true, are known a little less, but the children may even like Aibolit and Three Fat Men (and you along with them).
Valentina Oseeva, who has worked with street children in correctional institutions for more than 16 years, understands the psychology of difficult children like no one else. Her dilogy about the whirling stubborn Dinka ("Dinka" and "Dinka says goodbye to childhood") came out almost 50 years ago. They are based largely on the autobiographical story of the growing up of a tomboy girl from a family of intellectuals. In addition to this textbook story about childhood friendship, Oseeva wrote a dozen worthy short stories, which are included in the collection " Magic word”, And a series of books about schoolchild Vaska Trubachev. In the texts, in places there is unctuous propaganda (in the third book about Vaska, the heroes build a school that, obviously, personifies a bright future), but all this is in context serious conversations about goodness and justice, the ability to hear and accept others. Oseeva describes school everyday life with all their petty squabbles and everyday conflicts easily and wittily, without pioneer anguish and edification. In addition, as in the case of "Dinka", she honestly talks about families, which for most of the characters are incomplete, large or simply unsettled. But at the same time, they are still strong and friendly in their own way.

Children's poems by Alexander Vvedensky, one of the most profound authors of the first half of the 20th century, are now read significantly less than, for example, the works of his close friend Daniil Kharms. Moreover, with light hand avant-garde historian Nikolai Khardzhiev, the opinion was entrenched that Vvedensky "cheated in children's literature, wrote terrible books, there were very few good ones." Nevertheless, during his lifetime, he was seen as a popular children's author. Vvedensky managed to publish several dozen children's books, among which there are poems, stories and transcriptions of fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm. True, they began to be republished only after the poet's rehabilitation in 1964. Vvedensky collaborated with the children's magazines "Chizh" and "Yozh". His poems, which were imbued with a naive and idyllic attitude to the world, were highly appreciated by Lydia Chukovskaya and Sergei Mikhalkov. Recently, Ad Marginem has republished “ Railroad"- a story, in which the lips of a passenger of a steam locomotive tells about what is happening outside the window. Day and night replacing each other, factories, forests and factories form a panorama, first of a small town, then of the country, and then of the whole world. It is worth paying attention to the book "Travel to Crimea", on which Vvedensky worked together with Elena Safonova. This is a brisk poetic story of two brothers from cold Leningrad who set off on a journey south. The motive of a person's acquaintance with the world and genuine surprise at everything that happens is one of the main motives in Vvedensky's work, you cannot deny him this.

Boris Zhitkov wrote both boring pedagogical stories about various professions ("On the Water", "Above Water", "Under Water"), and curious stories-why, which he called "encyclopedias for four-year-old citizens" ("What I saw" and "What happened"). In addition, he wrote an amazing novel about the 1905 revolution, Victor Vavich. It was not published for a long time and practically disappeared, but returned to readers in the late 1990s. Zhitkov himself managed to be a navigator and captain on a ship, worked as an ichthyologist and a worker at an engineering plant. He sailed on ships and submarines, flew an airplane, was in India, Japan and Africa. In many ways, it was this experience that helped him to vividly reveal himself in the collections "Sea stories" and "Stories about animals" - short but succinct stories about the relationship of man with animals and nature. In them Zhitkov tells how smart, curious and courageous animals are, how they protect people and each other.

Ilya Marshak, the younger brother of Samuil Marshak, who was published under the pseudonym M. Ilyin, was one of the pioneers of Soviet science pop for children. He regularly wrote magazine columns "Chemical Page" and "New Robinson Laboratory", published in "Chizha" and wrote stories for children, which developed into a full-fledged history of inventions (collection "One Hundred Thousand Why"). The book How Man Became a Giant was one of the first textbooks on the history of philosophy for teenagers, but his opus magnum is The Conquest of Nature. This is a fascinating scientific story about nature, which reflects the main principles of the writer-popularizer. He fought both useless entertainment fakes for a scientific book and crude compilations that were passed off as educational literature. The texts of M. Ilyin are still considered a model scientific literature for children, perhaps with a discount on discussions about the destructive nature of capitalism.

Science fiction writer Ian Larry has a truly Dickensian biography. He was orphaned at the age of nine, wandered for a long time, worked as a watchmaker's apprentice and as a waiter in a tavern. And during the First World War he was drafted into the tsarist army, but soon went over to the side of the Reds. In the early 1930s, he made his debut with the not very successful story "Window to the Future", but a year later he was rehabilitated by releasing the utopian novel "The Land of the Happy". This is an idyllic picture of the world in which communism triumphed, people conquered space, but faced an energy crisis, which shook the frame of utopia. His most famous book was the story "The Extraordinary Adventures of Karik and Vali", which Larry wrote for Samuel Marshak. In the story, brother and sister Karik and Valya shrink and go on a journey into the world of insects. Larry combines naturalistic descriptions of the natural world with the famously twisted plot that formed the basis of the 1987 film of the same name.

Childhood, of course, begins with an acquaintance with the work of popular writers. It is the books that awaken in the child's soul a desire for self-knowledge and an appeal to the world as a whole. Famous children's writers are familiar to each of us from the most early years... The child, having barely learned to speak, already knows who Cheburashka is and the famous cat Matroskin is loved all over the world, the hero is charming and constantly comes up with something new. The article reviews the most famous children's writers and their works.

The benefits of these books

From time to time, even adults turn to reading children's fairy tales, stories and stories. Sometimes we all want to witness a miracle, regardless of age and position.

It would be naive to believe that with the receipt of a diploma of higher education, a person changes radically. No, each of us still needs spiritual enrichment and understanding. Books can become such an "outlet". Compare your feelings when you read the news in the newspaper or read a work. In the second case, the aesthetic pleasure from the process increases. Popular children's writers can even partially replace the warmth from communicating with a wise interlocutor.

Edward Uspensky

The works of this writer cannot leave anyone indifferent. Uncle Fyodor and his wonderful tailed friends will please any child, will delight him. Famous children's writers, such as are remembered forever, it is impossible to forget them even at an older age. Everyone's favorite adventures of three friends have a continuation: the books "New Order in Prostokvashino", "Aunt of Uncle Fyodor" bring genuine joy.

Crocodile Gena and his friend Cheburashka also have a lot of fans. Despite the fact that now these characters have tried to supplant modern heroes, they still have their own circle of readers. As you know, Russian children's writers are loved all over the world. In Soviet cartoons of the past, one can find the ideals of friendship and service to other people. A sense of duty and selfless dedication were put in the first place here.

Nikolay Nosov

Who doesn't know famous friends Kolya and Misha? It was they who once conceived to bring out small chickens from the incubator, organized entertaining activities to decorate their leisure. All of this they did with the greatest dedication and conscientious attitude. Vitya Maleev is perhaps the most beloved hero In his face, every domestic boy recognizes himself and his history. In childhood, we all do not really want to do homework. Nosov's characters always find a way out of difficult situation, are thinking about how best to proceed. Children's Russian writers, such as him, set as their goal to identify the necessary in every society.

Victor Dragunsky

Deniska Korablev is a faithful childhood friend of every boy and girl of 7-10 years old. The stories of Viktor Dragunsky are incredibly interesting to read: they are filled with various adventures and life itself, which is literally in full swing. His characters come up with antics and go on exciting adventures. Unobtrusively, the writer leads the reader to understanding true values... The heroes realize what irreparable consequences a lie can have, how to maintain friendship and why lessons still need to be learned. Favorite children's writers, of course, are known to everyone; Viktor Dragunsky is deservedly among them.

Alan Milne

Who doesn't know the popular Winnie the Pooh? the bear cub is familiar to all children. Whoever has seen the cartoon of the same name at least once will never forget the cheerful prankster and lover of honey. Together with his friend Piglet, he conceives tricks that will necessarily lead to various unforeseen situations.

But few people know that the work "Winnie the Pooh and All, All, All" Alan Milne wrote for his little son Christopher, intending to teach him lessons of kindness and sincerity. The latter, by the way, became the prototype of the boy appearing in the fairy tale.

Astrid Lindgren

This wonderful books are loved and recognized all over the world. Writers of children's fairy tales can hardly compare with her work, which is replete with originality and complete free thinking. It is worth remembering at least the entertaining story about Pippi Longstocking, which was distinguished by her great ingenuity and a penchant for adventurous tricks. Her heroine, one way or another, evokes a feeling of interest and sympathy. She wants to help, follow further developments... The book tells that the girl was orphaned early, but the courage and courage with which she embarks on dangerous adventures can only be envied.

No less favorite character of Astrid Lindgren is Carlson. This cheerful prankster lives on the roof and sometimes surprises others with his appearance. In addition, he is terribly fond of jam and a little mischief. You need to have an extremely rich imagination to come up with such heroes. Neither Carlson nor Pippi can be called obedient. On the contrary, they overturn the usual understanding of things and form in the child an individual idea of ​​himself and the world in particular. Values ​​are not imposed or promoted here, the reader himself draws conclusions, comes to his own conclusions. Famous children's writers, no doubt including Astrid Lindgren, give the child a primary sense of interest in literature. The Swedish writer opens before the reader a bright world of magic, where you want to stay longer. Even when we are old enough, many of us periodically re-read her works.

Lewis Carroll

The work of this writer is not bypassed by amateurs foreign fairy tales... "Alice in Wonderland" is one of the most mysterious works and just as obscure to the common man in the street.

There are many implications, meanings and meanings in it, which at first glance seem impossible to evaluate. One of them is that even in Everyday life each of us is surrounded by many riddles and secrets that must be able to discern. Opportunities are hidden everywhere, miracles actually happen. Popular children's writers like Carroll leave the reader to solve their mystery and never rush to reveal the main secret.

Gianni Rodari

The Italian writer, who saw service to other people as the main purpose of his existence, created a very entertaining story. The onion family, known to all children, arouses deep interest in the works of this author. Cipollino and his friends treat each other extremely carefully, pity the poor convicts whom Prince Lemon put in prison. In this tale, the topic of freedom and the ability to have your own opinion is especially acute. Famous children's writers, to whom Gianni Rodari belongs, always teach goodness and justice. "Cipollino" is remembered precisely for its focus on understanding and consoling everyone who needs it.

Thus, the work of children's writers contains a unique opportunity for a moment to return to daylight, to feel like a child again, to remember the simple joys that once surrounded us.

The texts are intended for reading lessons in grade 2, on self-study biographies of K.I. Chukovsky, Vvedensky A.I., Bunin I.A., A.L. Barto, A.S. Pushkin, Blaginina

Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin was born on May 26 (June 6 in a new style) in 1799 in Moscow. Here he spent his childhood.

In the summer, Pushkin was taken to Zakharyino, the village of his grandmother near Moscow. The boy loved these places: both the birch grove, which began right at the gates of the Zakharya house - they drank tea here on hot days, - and a huge linden tree by the pond, and a dark spruce forest on the other side of it. He played here, imagining himself a hero fighting against evil forces. And in the evenings he listened to the merry and sad Russian songs, watched the round dances, which were led by peasant girls.

3. What places did little Sasha like?

Parents did little to do with the child. Sergei Lvovich, the poet's father, thought little about home, about raising children. Nadezhda Osipovna, the poet's mother, a beautiful society woman, was busy only with herself. The real mistress in the Pushkin house was the poet's grandmother, Maria Alekseevna Hannibal, an intelligent, sensible and reasonable woman. She loved her grandson very much. And the child, who did not know parental affection, became attached to her with all his heart. He loved to listen to her quiet stories. He loved the fairy tales of his nanny Arina Rodionovna. With her melodious voice, she took the child into such a dazzling world of folk fantasy, sang such amazing songs that the boy forgot about the world around him. My father had an excellent library, mostly in French. The child eagerly reached for the book. Unbeknownst to adults, he makes his way to bookcases at night, reads by candlelight. Reading has become a passion.

It's time to start learning, but the tutors and governesses are not kept in the house. Pushkin did not like his teachers, they did not know how to interest him. However, the child's memory was brilliant, this helped him learn the given lesson, repeating it after his sister Olga.

In the eighth year of his life, he begins to write. From under his pen fables, comic poems, comedies come out. He alone “plays out” his comedy The Kidnapper in front of his sister. He writes small poems for the albums of the young ladies of the neighborhood. Adults do not attach importance to the boy's poetic exercises.

By the age of twelve, Pushkin in general, development was much ahead of his peers. He, according to his brother, "was gifted with the memory of an incredible and in the eleventh year already knew all French literature by heart." However, this did not prevent him from running and jumping over chairs, deftly throwing the ball, that is, remaining a twelve-year-old playful boy. He loved his native nature, folk tales and songs, I loved my grandmother, my nanny, I loved Yusupov Garden and Zakharyino, I loved books.

At the age of 8, she composed a play for home theater, from that time she wrote poetry and fairy tales. The main characters of her works are girls.

Her father was a cashier, her grandfather was a priest, and Elena herself was going to become a teacher. The desire to teach children was so great that she was ready to walk seven kilometers every day from her home in the village to the Kursk Pedagogical Institute.

Elena Blaginina had eight brothers and sisters. They lived with their parents and grandmother, who told a lot of fairy tales. I read by heart the poems of A.S. Pushkin.

Elena Blaginina lived a rather long life, and there was not a day when she did not work. She devoted her whole life to giving children joy with her works. Her poems were different: funny and interesting, childish teasers and perky.

Only the small publisher Bloomsbury agreed - and it was right.

Now Rowling continues to write, does charity work and social activities, she is a self-realized author and a happy mother and wife.
