The heroes of Russian folk tales are often represented as animals. So the wolf has always displayed the greedy and evil, the fox is cunning and savvy, the bear is strong and kind, and the hare is a weak and cowardly person. But the moral of these stories was that you should not hang a yoke on even the most evil hero, because there can always be a cowardly hare who can outwit the fox and defeat the wolf.

— Hello, sister!
— Hello, brother!
- Give me the fish!
- Catch yourself and eat.
- I can't.
- After all, I caught it! You, brother, go to the river, dip your tail into the hole, sit and say: “Catch, fish, both small and large! Catch, fish, both small and large! The fish will grab onto its tail.

Following him, the fox appeared; walks around the wolf and says:
- Clear, clear stars in the sky,
Freeze, freeze, wolf tail!

He looks, and the women go for water and shout:
- Wolf, wolf! Beat him, beat him!
They ran and began to beat the wolf - some with a yoke, some with a bucket, some with anything. The wolf jumped, jumped, tore off his tail and started running without looking back.
“Good,” he thinks, “I’ll repay you, sister!”
In the meantime, while the wolf was puffing its sides, the fox-sister wanted to try: would it be possible to pull off something else? She climbed into one of the huts, where the women baked pancakes, but hit her head in a tub of dough, got smeared and ran. And the wolf to meet her:
- Is that how you study? I've been thrashed all over!
- Oh, wolf-brother! - says the fox-sister. - At least you bled, but I have a brain, they nailed me more painfully than yours: I drag myself by force.
“And that’s true,” says the wolf, “where are you, sister, to go, sit on me, I’ll take you.”
The fox sat on his back, and he carried her. Here is a fox-sister sitting and slowly humming:

Russian folk tale "The Fox, the Wolf and the Bear"
The fox lay under a bush, turned over from side to side, thought and wondered: what would she eat, what would she profit from. I decided to hunt chickens in the village.
A fox is walking through the forest, a wolf runs towards her and asks:
- Where, godfather, are you going, wandering?
- I'm going, kumanyok, to the village, to hunt chickens! the fox answers.
- Take me too! Otherwise, I will howl, the dogs in the village will bark, the men and women will scream.
- Let's go, let's go, kumanek! You will help!
A fox and a wolf are walking along the road, a bear is dragging towards it and asks:
- Where, sister, are you going, wandering?
- I'm going, brother, to the village, to hunt chickens! the fox answers.
- Take me too! And then I will roar, the dogs in the village will bark, the men and women will scream,
"Let's go, let's go, brother!" You will help!
They came to the village. Lisa says:
- Come on, fat-fifted bear brother, go to the village. And when men and women chase after you, run away into the forest. I'll bring chickens to your share.
The bear walked through the village. Men and women saw him, grabbed stakes and yokes, and began to beat the bear. The clumsy one escaped, barely carried his legs into the forest.
Lisa says:
- Come on, kumanyok gray top, run to the village! Men and women ran after the bear, but the dogs remained. They will smell you, they will chase you, you run into the forest. I'll bring chickens to your share.
The wolf ran to the village. Dogs smelled him, ran, began to bite. The wolf barely carried his legs into the forest, he remained a little alive.
Meanwhile, the fox entered the chicken coop. I grabbed the chickens and put them in a bag. And it was like that. She ran along the hillocks, along the stumps, along the sparse bushes and ran into the forest.
The fox put the bag of chickens on the ground. And in another bag, which was larger, she put stones, cones and acorns and attached them nearby. She sat down under a bush to rest. A wolf and a bear came running and shouting:
“Hey fox, where’s the prey?! Where is our share?!
- Yes, there are bags of chickens, - says the fox, - take any.
The wolf and the bear rushed to prey. They chose the largest and heaviest bag, stuffed with stones, cones and acorns, and dragged it into the forest.
And the fox laughed at the stupid wolf and bear, put the bag of chickens on his back and ran to his hole.
Russian folk tale "Like a wolf lived with a peasant"

The blacksmith forged it. The wolf took the cock's voice and went to the village. He climbed the fence and sang: “Ku-ka-re-ku! Ku-ka-re-ku!” The man went out into the yard. He sees that a wolf is sitting on the fence and cries like a cock. He took him to his service - to wake up at dawn. Night has come. The wolf went to sleep. In the morning the peasant woke up, looked, and the sun was already overhead, work was in full swing in the field. The wolf did not wake him up at dawn with a cock's cry. The peasant took a stick and drove the wolf out of the yard.

The peasant got angry, grabbed a stick and drove the wolf out of the yard.

Until autumn, the man fed the wolf. In autumn he came to the barn and said:

The wolf heard that the peasant was going to rip off his skin, jumped out of the barn and ran into the forest. No longer lived with the man.

- I worked harder! the first disagrees. - I've been turning the millstones all day!
— No, I worked harder!
- No, I! ..

Welcome to the fairy tale world! In this magical world, there is always a place for marvelous landscapes, brave heroes and talking animals. But, most importantly, every fairy tale about animals has its own unique happy ending.
What do fairy tales teach?
Are these little stories really that simple? It turns out not. Each fairy tale about animals has a good name, a full-fledged plot, colorful characters that largely reflect the essence of what is happening in reality. Thus, with each new fairy tale, the child learns to explore this vast world.
In fact, children's fairy tales about animals are the first textbooks for kids in a difficult school of life. With their help, the child learns that kindness is the most valuable gift for a good person, and it always defeats evil. Friendship is no less important than hard work, and kids learn about it from fairy tales about courageous and noble heroes who, in spite of everything, overcome all difficulties. In addition, fairy tales about animals teach love for neighbors and respect for elders, compassion for the poor and honesty in everything.
The peculiarity of children's vision is such that all the stories told are perceived for the most part on an intuitive level, and the perceived situations and characters acquire a real appearance only later. Therefore, the choice of the first books for your baby should be approached with special attention. It's great if there are or in the new book. And it is better to start with well-known, kind folk tales about animals.
Russian folk tales about animals
The main characters of such fairy tales are wild animals. Although there are many stories about pets. According to legend, the first about animals appeared in an era when hunting was one of the main crafts. Mothers told their children stories about powerful representatives of the animal world, and children, due to their developed imagination, already attributed human features to the characters. Tales about animals were passed down from generation to generation, and with each retelling, the characters acquired new features.
In Russian folklore, fairy tales about animals were interpreted in different ways. But the main acting characters have always been: a fox and a wolf, a hare and a bear, a dog and a rooster; goat and bull.
The character of the fox came to us from Western fairy tales. The cunning, deceit and cunning of the fox has always made her stronger than her eternal companions, the wolf and the bear. And this is not at all surprising, because the wolf's anger, greed and at the same time not insight did not give him even a tiny chance in competition with the fox.
But the bear character is rarely endowed with any characteristic features, and the little reader always has the opportunity to create his own image of the hero. The cowardly hare, the proud rooster, and the stubborn goat and bull were not always like this. Most of the features attributed to these characters are firmly rooted in Russian folklore precisely because of the traditional vision of these animals.
As for the plot, in about animals there is always a place for deceit and meanness, but the courage, courage and kindness of the main characters conquers everything. The plot of many fairy tales about animals is based on life situations that adults experience every day in the real world. And due to the colorful depiction of characters and comical descriptions, little readers perceive all the stories quite realistically, but at the same time, such stories evoke only good associations. After all, every fairy tale about wild or domestic animals has a happy ending.
Tales of different peoples of the world
No one can say for sure how many fairy tales have been written in our centuries-old history. Each nation has its own stories, parables and legends that reflect its culture and traditions. These animal tales are always about something new and unknown. In them you can meet mysterious creatures, visit places that no one will tell you about. And what could be more interesting for a young adventurer?
Each story is a small magical world with its inhabitants and laws. Landscapes, images of characters, situations and the finale in children's fairy tales of different peoples of the world are rarely repeated. Therefore, reading fairy tales about animals is always interesting. Indeed, despite the quite logical name, it is not known until the very end how the next story will end. Kids perfectly perceive the images described in such fairy tales. Thanks to the skill of writers, even great villains are perceived as good magicians.
Regardless of age, each of us at least once in his life recalled those wonderful moments of his childhood joy in anticipation of another journey into the world of fairy tales. But in the life of every child there should be happy moments filled with joy and magic!
Fairy tales about animals for children tell children, in a form they can understand, about the habits, signs and life of our smaller friends. It can be fairy tales in verse or in prose. More realistic - for older children or just with the participation of animals - for kids. Today I will show you the best examples of both.
Hello dear readers. Even the smallest children, we read fairy tales, trying to instill a love for books and knowledge of the world. Most books for toddlers contain pictures of animals. Mom, dad or grandmother, reading them, draw the attention of the baby to the picture. They ask if he recognizes the character, they say what sounds he makes in real life. This is how the baby's journey into the world of wildlife begins. The child grows and learns more and more facts about animals, insects, birds.
I would say that the peak of interest in all living things is between 2 and 6 years. Do not miss this time, be afraid that the baby will not understand or that he will not be interested in school. Giving knowledge gradually, you will enrich his inner world, lay love for all living things. Of course, a child of this age receives the main information from fairy tales, and we will talk about them today.

Next come fairy tales in verse about a stupid and smart mouse - this is the perfect combination of fairy tales so that the child understands not only what not to do, but also gets an example of the right behavior.

Book in the Labyrinth
This paperback book has been reprinted for the 10th time! I bought the 3rd edition when Alexander was 2 years old. The soft cover at this age was a plus, since there are two fairy tales on the spread, and the baby is not able to concentrate on one page when the other has the same bright pictures. Therefore, I simply folded the book like a magazine and the issue resolved itself. The fairy tales collected here will help the parent decide on the topics that the child should master before entering school.
At first, I did just that - I read fairy tales on 1 topic, then we beat her. For example, animals are collected here: where did domestic animals come from, why does a bear sleep in winter, why do animals need a warm coat, what does a cow give us, how do animals sleep, how do they escape from predators, why do they need tails, what kind of relatives do cats have, who such a whale, why a pig lies in a puddle, why a wolf is needed in the forest. More tales here about birds and insects. I think now you understand why this encyclopedia is described by me in this article. By the way, after each fairy tale, elementary information about what was read is given next to the picture, which is why the book is called Encyclopedia.

I think that the works of Sergei Kozlov need no introduction. This book caught my attention while collecting the Golden Fairy Tales Illustrated by the Best Artists collection. Each spread of the book looks like a separate oil painting. Every stroke of the artist, who is Evgeny Antonenkov, is visible. The Azbuka publishing house has made a large book 31cm by 25cm, which makes it possible to see the illustrations even better. The paper is thick, matte, coated. The font is crisp and great size. In a word - the quality of the publication is a solid 5-ku.
Opening the book, you get the feeling that you are in fairy tales about the seasons: “Winter's Tale”, about the New Year, “Spring Tale”, “Unusual Spring”, “Hedgehog and the Sea”. Of course, this includes the work “Shake! Hello!”, familiar to all of us since childhood. In total, the book contains 10 fairy tales, each of which guides the friends of the Hedgehog and the Bear Cub through the seasons - starting from winter and ending in autumn. I agree with the publisher that recommends the book to children 6+. I agree that at the age of 3 the kid will not appreciate these illustrations, he will not be captured by Kozlov's writing language. We have this book went well at the age of 5 years.
The publication is almost square in size 21 cm by 22 cm, the pages are coated, completely filled with an illustration on which the text is located. The book is stitched and glued, there is a lacquered flower on the cover.
Book in the Labyrinth
This is one of my favorite books in the children's library. I am very glad that the Good Book publishing house republished it. I am sure that many more children and their parents will fall in love with this beautiful teddy bear. This tale is about polar animals: polar bear, reindeer or caribou, seal, blue whale. As the name suggests, the little bear goes looking for the sun. Along the way, he admires the polar night and the northern lights, and also meets other residents of those places. As a result, he returns to his beloved mother at the moment when the sun again came to the land of eternal snows.
Cute, like lively illustrations in purple-blue-pink tones. Matte coated paper. The edition is well stitched, the cover is hard. Suitable for children from 2 to 6 years old. At the end of the book, encyclopedic information is given in an accessible language. It is intended for parents who will be bombarded with questions from little whys.
Book in the Labyrinth
Another book by Tamara Kryukova, which will tell children about where the mammoths went, where the woodpecker got the red cap from, why the ostrich cannot fly, why the bat sleeps upside down and how the fox taught the flea a lesson. There is a very important point to be taken into account here. The book is suitable for children after 4 years, when the basic information on these issues has already been considered and the child has developed imagination. That is, children who understand that the mammoth figuratively removed the skin for washing need to read these fairy tales. There are many topics to discuss fairy tales. After reading each of them with Alexander, we first discussed what we read, correlated the information with the real life of animals, and only after that proceeded to the next fairy tale.
At the end of the book, a rather long, but easily readable and perceptible poem about natural signs in nature is given. "Forest Calendar" tells a child about a fox who decided to learn about all the signs of the seasons. These signs relate to forest animals and birds. This part of the book was our favorite.
Book in the Labyrinth
I think that everyone is familiar with the works of Vitaly Bianchi. Therefore, I will simply write that despite the fact that this is Machaon, the collection is successful. It includes 9 fairy tales about forest animals, birds and insects. The pleasure of reading and looking at illustrations is guaranteed to lovers of the animal world. This collection can be recommended to children from the age of 4, the fairy tale “How the ant hurried home” will be clear to them. But the whole book will be available for understanding from the age of 5. The publisher itself recommends the book for middle school age.
The illustrations are not flashy, but large and clear. There are many of them and they clearly correspond to what is written. The format of the book is 29 cm by 21 cm, offset paper, the pages are quite dense. The font is large, suitable for children to read on their own.
It is our duty as parents to teach children to love living beings, to instill in them the understanding that everything that exists in nature has a right to do so. Tales about animals for children are the starting point in this difficult matter. That's all for today, dear readers, in the following articles I will introduce you to stories and encyclopedias about animals.
