Children's writers and their works.
On the shelves of bookstores today you can find a huge number of offers, but not everything in a beautiful and bright cover will be useful for children to read. The best will be those works that differ not only in a fascinating plot, but also carry certain educational ideas: they teach goodness, justice, honesty.
It is at preschool age that erudition begins to take shape: the child comes to school with an extensive and in many ways unique literary baggage. At preschool age, children are widely acquainted with Russian and world folklore in all its variety of genres, with Russian and foreign classics, with the works of children's writers - with those first classical works, to which a person often does not return later.
Art created for children is a diverse and extensive part of modern culture. Literature has been present in our lives since childhood, it is with its help that the concept of good and evil is laid, a worldview and ideals are formed. Even at preschool and primary school age, young readers can already appreciate the dynamics of poetry or beautiful fairy tales, and at an older age they begin to read thoughtfully, so books should be selected accordingly. Let's talk about Russian and foreign children's writers and their works.
Children's writers of the 19th-20th centuries and the development of children's literature.
For the first time, books especially for children in Rus' began to be written in the 17th century, in the 18th century the formation of children's literature began: at that time such people as M. Lomonosov, N. Karamzin, A. Sumarokov and others lived and worked. The 19th century is the heyday of children's literature, the "Silver Age", and we still read many books by writers of that time.
Lewis Carroll (1832-1898)
The author of "Alice in Wonderland", "Alice Through the Looking Glass", "The Hunt for the Snark" was born in a small village in Cheshire (hence the name of his character - the Cheshire Cat). The real name of the writer is Charles Dodgson, he grew up in a large family: Charles had 3 brothers and 7 sisters. He went to college, became a professor of mathematics, even received the rank of deacon. He really wanted to become an artist, he painted a lot, loved to take pictures. As a boy, he wrote stories, funny stories, adored the theater. If his friends had not persuaded Charles to rewrite his story on paper, Alice in Wonderland might not have seen the light of day, but nevertheless the book was published in 1865. Carroll's books are written in such an original and rich language that it is difficult to find a suitable translation for some words: there are more than 10 versions of the translation of his works into Russian, and readers themselves can choose which one to prefer.

Russian children's writers
Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky (1882-1969)
Real name - Nikolai Korneychukov is known for children's fairy tales and stories in verse and prose. He was born in St. Petersburg, lived for a long time in Nikolaev, Odessa, from childhood he firmly decided to become a writer, but, having arrived in St. Petersburg, he was faced with refusals from the editors of magazines. He became a member of a literary circle, a critic, wrote poems and stories. For bold statements, he was even arrested. During the war, Chukovsky was a war correspondent, editor of almanacs and magazines. He spoke foreign languages and translated the works of foreign authors. The most famous works of Chukovsky are “Cockroach”, “Tsokotuha Fly”, “Barmaley”, “Aibolit”, “Wonder Tree”, “Moydodyr” and others.
Samuil Yakovlevich Marshak (1887-1964)
Playwright, poet, translator, literary critic, talented author. It was in his translation that many first read Shakespeare's sonnets, Burns' poems, and fairy tales from different peoples of the world. Samuel's talent began to manifest itself in early childhood: the boy wrote poetry, had the ability to learn foreign languages. Poetry books by Marshak, who moved from Voronezh to Petrograd, immediately enjoyed great success, and their feature is a variety of genres: poems, ballads, sonnets, riddles, songs, sayings - he was able to do everything. In his works, Samuel Marshak introduces children of different ages to the world around him, encouraging the child to feel full and interesting poetry. The poems of this writer not only help the child to broaden his horizons, cultivating a taste and love for literary Russian speech, but also help the child to feel the richness of the language. Samuil Yakovlevich was awarded many prizes, and his poems have been translated into dozens of languages. The most famous works are “Twelve Months”, “Luggage”, “The Tale of the Stupid Mouse”, “That's how absent-minded”, “Mustache-striped” and others.
Agnia Lvovna Barto (1906-1981)
Agniya Barto was an exemplary student, already at school she began to write poetry and epigrams for the first time. Now many children are brought up on her poems, her light, rhythmic poems have been translated into many languages of the world. Agnia has been an active literary figure all her life, a member of the jury of the Andersen competition. In 1976, she received the G.H. Andersen Prize. The most famous poems are “Bull”, “Bullfinch”, “Tamara and I”, “Lyubochka”, “Bear”, “Man”, “I am growing” and others. Barto always succeeded in such a dialogue, because she perfectly knew the one to whom she addressed and respected the interlocutor, no matter how small he was.
Each toy in the image of Agnia Barto acquires individuality. A toy is an important part of the material, material environment closest to the child and actively mastered by him.
Poems help to survive the neglect of the toy as a betrayal of a friend. The negligent and hard-hearted "mistress" of the rag hare is contrasted by Barto with another small character who, after the bear has lost its paw, continues to play with him "because he is good." So the poet melted the childish attachment to the old toy into a wonderful property of the soul: fidelity to close friends, in gratitude and love. A feature in poems about toys: as a rule, they are written in the first person, if we are talking about some good deeds of children (“I am pulling a boat along a fast river ...”, “No, it was not in vain that we decided to ride a cat in a car ...”, “We will build the plane ourselves ...”) and from the third person, when there are no active actions of the child or bad actions of the child (“The hostess abandoned the bunny ...”, “Our Tanya is crying loudly ...”).
Such an example helps to establish positive character traits in young readers. A. Barto is a children's writer, not because she wrote for children, but because her best poems have become children's folklore. She goes with her reader through all the steps of childhood and at the same time not only seeks to discover the world of toys, things, nature, people, but also to lay in the child's soul the beginning of a moral attitude towards the world. Barto reveals the personality of the child from early childhood, when the child only begins to walk (“Mashenka” - 1948). The kid in this period is the discoverer of the world, he only receives the very first impressions. In poetry, the poetess traces the growth of the child's independence.
Agniya Barto laughs cheerfully with children, not evil, she does not want to offend and condemn the child forever, as children grow and change and therefore they are not hopeless in bad deeds. Barto's ridicule does not hurt or kill, but it makes you look at yourself from the outside. Barto is deeply convinced that it is in childhood that the foundation of a person is laid, and if negative qualities appear in the formative character, then this threatens with great moral losses in the future.
Sergei Vladimirovich Mikhalkov (1913-2009)
He can be considered a classic of Russian children's literature: a writer, chairman of the Union of Writers of the RSFSR, a talented poet, writer, fabulist, playwright. It is he who is the author of two hymns: the USSR and the Russian Federation. He devoted a lot of time to social activities, although at first he did not have a dream of becoming a writer: in his youth he was both a laborer and a member of a geological exploration expedition. We all remember such works as “What do you have”, “Song of friends”, “Three little pigs”, “On New Year's Eve”, “Uncle Styopa is a policeman”. Why is the image of Uncle Styopa so close to the reader, why is he friends with millions of children? First of all, he has a very attractive character trait, which, unfortunately, does not often determine the images of the heroes of children's literature: kindness, responsiveness. Uncle Styopa not only prevented a train crash - he also saved pigeons from a burning house, and “raised the one who was small at the parade”, and “removed the kite from the telegraph wires for the guys”.
Children not only need everything that Uncle Styopa does for them, but what he does for himself is close, interesting. He jumps with a parachute, goes to the parade, shoots at the shooting range, comes to the stadium, rides a camel and finally enters the navy.
Mikhalkov, with remarkable accuracy, sharpness, determined the circle of childish (mainly boyish) interests and managed to beat the adventures of Uncle Styopa in such a way that with each episode the image of the hero emerges more and more fully and attractively.
Contemporary children's writers
Grigory Bentsionovich Oster
Children's writer, in whose works adults can learn a lot of interesting things. He was born in Odessa, served in the Navy, his life is still very active: he is a leading, talented author, cartoon screenwriter. "Monkeys", "A Kitten Named Woof", "38 Parrots", "Got Bitten" - all these cartoons were filmed according to his script, and "Bad Advice" is a book that has gained immense popularity. By the way, an anthology of children's literature has been published in Canada: the books of most writers have a circulation of 300-400 thousand, and Auster's Bad Advice has sold 12 million copies!
Eduard Nikolaevich Uspensky
From childhood, Eduard Uspensky was a ringleader, participated in KVN, organized skits, then he first tried his hand at writing, later he began to write plays for children's radio programs, children's theaters, dreamed of creating his own magazine for children. The cartoon "Crocodile Gena and his friends" brought fame to the writer, since then the eared symbol - Cheburashka, has settled in almost every home. We also still love the book and cartoon “Three from Prostokvashino”, “Koloboks are Investigating”, “Plasticine Crow”, “Baba Yaga Against!” and others.
JK Rowling
Speaking of modern children's writers, it is simply impossible not to mention the author of the Harry Potter series of books, the wizard boy and his friends. It's the best-selling book series in history, and the movies made from it have been huge box office hits. Rowling had a chance to go from obscurity and poverty to worldwide fame. At first, no editors agreed to accept and publish a book about a wizard, believing that such a genre would be of no interest to readers. Only the small publishing house Bloomsbury agreed - and did not lose. Now Rowling continues to write, is engaged in charity and social activities, she is a self-fulfilled author and a happy mother and wife.
Modern children read little, are not interested in art, do not know how to organize their leisure time, spend most of their time at the computer, as a result of which they do not know how to communicate with peers and adults.
You involuntarily wonder where such a wonderful tradition as family reading or reading before bed has gone from us? It is no secret that it is in the family that the upbringing of the personality of the child takes place. The task of adults is to introduce children to reading, to instill a love for the book. If the family loves and reads a lot, then the baby will imitate the lifestyle of his family.
Childhood, of course, begins with acquaintance with the work of popular writers. It is books that awaken in the soul of the child the desire for self-knowledge and the appeal to the world as a whole. Famous children's writers are familiar to each of us from an early age. 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 makes an overview of the most famous children's writers and their works.
Benefits of these books
From time to time, even adults turn to reading children's fairy tales, stories and novels. We all sometimes 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 get acquainted with the news in a newspaper or read a work. In the second case, the aesthetic pleasure of the process increases. Popular children's writers can even partially replace the warmth of communication with a wise interlocutor.
Edward Uspensky
The works of this writer can not leave anyone indifferent. Uncle Fedor and his wonderful tailed friends will please any child, they will delight him. Famous children's writers such as are remembered forever, they are impossible to forget even at an older age. Everyone's favorite adventures of three friends have a continuation: the books "New Orders in Prostokvashino", "Aunt Uncle Fyodor" bring genuine joy.
Crocodile Gena and his friend Cheburashka also have a lot of fans. Despite the fact that modern heroes have now tried to supplant these characters, they still have their readership. Children's Russian writers are known to be 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 disinterested self-giving were put in the first place here.
Nikolai Nosov
Who does not know famous friends Kolya and Misha? It was they who once decided to bring little chickens out of the incubator, organized entertaining activities to decorate their leisure time. All this they did with the greatest devotion and conscientious attitude. Vitya Maleev is perhaps the most beloved hero. In his person, every domestic boy recognizes himself and his story. All of us in childhood do not really want to do homework. Nosov's characters always find a way out of a difficult situation, think about how best to act. Russian children's writers like him make it their goal to identify what is necessary in every society.
Victor Dragunsky
Deniska Korablev is a true childhood friend of every boy and girl aged 7-10. 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 tricks and go on exciting adventures. Unobtrusively, the writer leads the reader to an understanding of true values. The heroes realize what irreparable consequences a lie can have, how to maintain friendship and why lessons still need to be taught. Favorite children's writers, of course, are known to all, Viktor Dragunsky deservedly belongs to their number.
Alan Milne
Who does not know such a popular Winnie the Pooh? teddy bear is familiar to all children. Who at least once saw the cartoon of the same name will never forget the cheerful prankster and honey lover. Together with his friend Piglet, he conceives tricks that necessarily lead to various unforeseen situations.
But few people know that Alan Milne wrote the work “Winnie the Pooh and All, All, All” 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
Books of this remarkable are loved and recognizable all over the world. Writers of children's stories can hardly be compared with her work, which is replete with originality and complete freethinking. It is worth at least remembering the entertaining story about Pippi Longstocking, which was distinguished by great intelligence and a penchant for adventurous tricks. Her heroine, one way or another, evokes a feeling of interest, sympathy. She wants to help, to follow further events. 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 those around him with his appearance. In addition, he is terribly fond of jam and a little naughty. 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, which no doubt include Astrid Lindgren, form the child's primary sense of interest in literature. The Swedish writer opens up a bright world of magic for the reader, where you want to stay longer. Even when we are old enough, many of us re-read her works from time to time.
Lewis Carroll
The work of this writer is not bypassed by lovers of foreign fairy tales. "Alice in Wonderland" is one of the most mysterious works and equally obscure to the average layman.
There are many subtexts, meanings and meanings in it, which at first glance seem impossible to evaluate them. One of them is that even in everyday life, each of us is surrounded by many mysteries and secrets that we must be able to discern. Opportunities are hidden everywhere, miracles actually happen. Popular children's writers like Carroll leave the reader to figure out their secret and never rush to reveal the main secret.
Gianni Rodari
The Italian writer, who saw service to other people as the main goal of his existence, created a very entertaining story. The onion family known to all children causes a deep interest in the works of this author. Cipollino and his friends treat each other extremely carefully, pity the poor convicts whom Prince Lemon hid in prison. In this tale, the theme of freedom and the opportunity to have one's own opinion is particularly 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 comforting everyone who needs it.
Thus, the work of children's writers contains a unique opportunity to return for a moment to daylight, to feel like a child again, to remember the simple joys that once surrounded us.
