Short stories for children - part of the literary treasury of Russia

Somehow it goes without saying that short stories for children are exactly what they need. Firstly, the children are not very diligent, secondly, they will understand the short story, and thirdly, the kids will be able to retell it.

Wonderful names

But short does not mean bad or written in a hurry. Short stories for children wrote brilliant classics of great Russian literature - AS Pushkin, LN Tolstoy, AP Chekhov, M. Yu. Lermontov. A lot of good works for children, both short and long, was written by AK Tolstoy. It is necessary to possess a tremendous talent in order to tell a few words a story that has a beginning and an end, perhaps instructive, maybe sad or merry. Certainly, the ability to write short stories for children testifies to the highest degree of possession of the word and filigree mastery of the author.

How to write short and talented, know geniuses

There are many stories related to the writing of short stories. As a rule, the names of writers in these cases always belong to geniuses. O. Henry won the contest for the shortest story. His miniature, consisting of several proposals, had all the necessary components of a full-fledged work - a string, culmination and denouement. E. Hemingway argued that he would write a four-word story that would move the readers. Do not bring it is impossible: "Children's shoes are sold. Not Intoxicated. " The first thing that comes to mind is that the child has died. Then, for calming down, you can think up that your father bought shoes and did not guess with the size. Kurt Vonnegut has even 8 rules for writing short stories. There are dozens of brilliant miniatures, including for children. And then, in order to instill in children a good taste, they need to read talented authors. American writer Jerome David Salinger said that even babies should read good prose - they immediately calm down. But these are babies, and older children should react actively, preferably laugh. Therefore, short stories for children are created in large numbers.

Difficult children's world

A child is easy to laugh. It is difficult to compose such a story so that the popes and mothers are delighted. This was a great success for the children's writer Kornei Ivanovich Chukovsky. The sensation was his famous book "From two to five". This is an anthology in which short funny stories for children are collected, and a unique "textbook of childbearing". The book entered not only in the treasury of children's literature, but also in the golden fund of children's pedagogy and psychology. In this immortal collection there is a feedback: adults learn a lot of interesting things about the world of children. And it is unique, touching, funny, talentedly shown, how children learn the surrounding reality.

Unclaimed now

List the classics who wrote short stories for children, you can long, here are some of them: Prishvin, Nosov, Zoshchenko. Ushinsky wrote a series of short fairy tales for children. For example, "Bishka" - a fairy tale about a dog and a book, consisting of one short paragraph. No longer "Goat" and "Cow". But these tales are little known.

I wonder why they are not read to children in the kindergarten? Konstantin Dmitrievich Ushinsky (1824-1871) - the founder of scientific pedagogy, his works for children written in good, understandable language, cause a good smile, they are absolutely not outdated.

The author of "Uncle Vanya" for children

Little read and Chekhov's stories for children. Short works were particularly successful for the author (Anton Pavlovich holds the phrase about the brevity, which the native sister has to talent). He just wrote - brief and talented, because he did not know how to do it differently.

True, the shortest of his stories ("My" she "" or the stunning "Yin and Yang") are still written for adults. But also "Kashtanka", "Vanka", "White-throated" - also do not lead. The address on the envelope from the story "Vanka" - "On the village to the grandfather" - in general became a proverb and firmly entered the everyday language.

Brilliant and noble

A good cycle of children's works is the author of "War and Peace." They are known as "Short stories for children." Tolstoy Leo Nikolayevich first told them to his children, then to the peasant children from Yasnaya Polyana. In addition to short stories about animals, this great writer has very short, but cute and instructive tales and fables, which were included in the alphabet issued by Tolstoy for village kids. He made it accessible, cognitive and interesting. Short instructive fables are the reworked works of Aesop. Not every Russian count was concerned about such a noble affair as teaching peasant children. And Tolstoy approached this business seriously and with all responsibility: his children's cycles were called upon to educate the kids for the desire to learn the world, to develop a craving for learning, to instill a love for such a difficult task as reading books. His little stories are finished works, touching and kind. There is no edification in them, but they are instructive. And it would be incomprehensible if the greatest literature in the world had no less genius works for children. This is not comic books about Donald Duck. This is literature with a capital letter.
