The best modern children's writers and their works: list, rating and reviews

Despite the general computerization, parents continue to buy books for their children. Of course, there is a greater demand for literature for very young children who do not yet know how to read. The older ones prefer to download works on the Internet themselves and read them on their gadgets. Nevertheless, the influence of literature on child development is undeniable. Therefore, in this article we will consider what today's modern children's writers exist. A review of the well-known authors will help to understand what the children and their parents are interested in.

The influence of literature on the development of children

Let's start from the very beginning. Namely, we will understand how books affect the development of children. It should be noted that the stories that are read or told by loving parents, their children are taken seriously. Of course, this happens until a certain point in time, but during this period, the little ones already form a system of perception of the world. This all refers to the fact that before you begin to read the book of the new author to a child, you should read it yourself.

This is a prerequisite, because modern children's writers and their works are sometimes very innovative, and some fairy tales show the value system from the individual point of view of the writer. The writers who create such books believe that this will help the children adapt in the present world and understand it. Of course, parents should be asked how to educate their child, but literature must be carefully chosen from childhood to instill a taste for good books.

How to choose a book for a child by age

If you want to instill in your child a love of reading, then you need to correctly pick up books by age. Let's just say that a two-year-old child is too early to read Nosov's books, since they will be difficult for him to perceive, but the tales of Korney Chukovsky are quite appropriate. Also, you can read to your child short rhymes, rhymes, and then learn them together. Also for this age such fairy tales as "Ryab Chicken", "Teremok", "Kolobok" (although they can be addressed even earlier) are suitable.

With the growing up of a child, you should start reading him such works as "Three from Prostokvashino", "Kid and Carlson", "The Adventure of Pinocchio." Further include in the list of books "Cinderella", "Snow White" and their similar tales. They will teach the child to experience and sympathize, think about justice, about what is good and bad.

Modern children's writers and their works can also settle on your children's books shelf. Of course, they should be selected more carefully, the unknown texts must first be read by the parent. But if you already have a fairly grown-up child, then it's hard to follow him. But try to offer him something that he has not read from the classics, perhaps he will like it.

Children's writers and books, time-tested

So, let's look at the best time-tested children's writers and books for children's development. They include the following.

• Verses by Agniya Barto. They can begin to read the kid at the age of one, because she has both short and simple rhymes, and longer and more serious.
• Quite popular among the kids and Kornei Chukovsky. His famous works "Moydodyr" or "Flies of the Tsokotukha" are known to almost every child.
• In the older age, the children should read the works of the Brothers Grimm. This, for example, "Snowstorm", "Little Red Riding Hood", "Reasonable Hans", "Shipovnichek."
• Lindgren Astrid and her most famous works are "Pippi Long Stocking" and "Kid and Carlson".
• More complex, and therefore read them, you need when the child is older, works Bazhov. His most popular book is "The Malachite Casket", where many Uralic tales are collected. If your child is interested in folklore, then offer him such an option.

• No less exciting is Lewis Carroll. His most famous works are "Alice in Wonderland", "Alice in the Looking-Glass".

So, we have considered a very small list of children's books on authors, but in fact it is much more extensive. Here you can add other well-known and loved works that you yourself read in childhood. Your child will probably be interested.

Now consider a small list of modern children's writers (and their works), namely those who create fairy tales that are produced in Russia.

Not only modern children's writers of Russia and their works can be present on the bookshelf of your children, but also foreign ones. Of course, here you need to select much stricter, because sometimes they offer to read incredible things, but there are also quite fascinating. Consider the list.

• Dick King-Smith. This English author is very popular with his fascinating stories about animals, which can be re-read by the whole family.

Of course, this is not the entire list, but just a few examples. It should be replenished by the parents themselves, so that their child can read good books.

Famous children's authors, writing poems

On the shelves of your child, in addition to fairy tales, should stand poetic works. This will greatly expand his horizons, as well as help develop memory. And now we will consider what kind of modern children's writers and books for children working in this style.

• André Giles. It is a modern English children's poet who has already published the already well-known book "Dancing Giraffe".
• Marina Boroditskaya. She writes both verses for adults, and for children (which are an order of magnitude larger). Here are some of the author's poems - "The Last Day of the Teaching", "The Forest Marsh", "The Windmill", "Rybkin TV" and many others.
• Galina Dyadina. Her most popular book is "The Book in the Vest." It is a collection of poems, which are arranged in alphabetical order. This will help your child learn the alphabet and read interesting works.

Beginner young authors

Modern parents sometimes find it very difficult to choose literature for their child from such a variety of new, fashionable and most often even unknown authors. Therefore, below we will consider the best children's writers and books for the development of children, which are not yet known, but have already received a well-deserved critique. In 2015, the "Debut" prize was awarded to three authors who received a special prize "For the best work for children and adolescents." This is Dmitry Akhmetshin from the city of Samara. The award went to him for the story "The Adventures of Denis in the painted world." It should be noted that this author is quite young and has several other similar works.

Also on this list is Dmitry Buchelnikov from the city of Sochi, he is noted for his story "Madzhara." This is also a young author, whose real name is Dmitry Kungurtsev. Although he writes children's tales and poems from his youth, but earlier his work only appeared in one magazine. But now he received a reward and a confession.

Another author who won this award is Ilya Popov from the city of Krasnoyarsk. He received the award for the novel "You can go alone."

As we can see, the modern world is very concerned about the availability of good literature for the younger generation, so this year, for the Debut Prize, the new nomination "For the Best Work for Children and Adolescents" was established. Thus, if you want to supplement your list of children's books, by authors compiled, and are looking for young talents writing good and interesting works, then you can take note of the work of the above writers.

Developmental literature (encyclopedias, textbooks, etc.)

At a certain stage of the development of the child, so that he learns about the surrounding world more and absorbs the necessary knowledge in a game form, a separate literature is required. These are various educational books, encyclopedias and the like. Now we will consider what modern children's writers and their works can help you in this.

• Andrei Usachev. Very interesting and talented author. Most often he creates developmental literature, which children like very much. He can find various poems that will help your child learn the multiplication table, as well as a number of tongue twisters, counters and many others.
• Julia Donaldson. This author wrote "Rhymed History", which is quite interesting for toddlers.

As the child grows up, books such as large encyclopedias with colorful pictures should be purchased. Again, here only you need to focus on the age of your child and the contents of the book itself.

Teenage literature

Separately, it should be said about adolescent literature. It is at this age that the child begins to read what he himself wants. Therefore, sometimes you should be interested in what is so keen on your child, because not all modern children's writers and their works are suitable even for a teenager. Some people are better off and not included in the list for reading. Consider several authors who are considered the best.

• Joanne Rowling. Perhaps, this woman is one of the most popular in the world. It was she who wrote a series of books about Harry Potter's boy. For this work films are made.
• Offer a teenager a classic - Harper Lee "Kill a mockingbird," Jerome Sellinger "The Catcher in the Rye," Ray Bradbury "Dandelion Wine."
• For those who like magic, there is quite an interesting series of books written by Dmitry Emets. The two most popular ones are a parody of Tanya Grotter and Mefody Buslaev.

And remember, at this age the child begins to experience adult feelings, and also comprehend what he wants in this life and what this world is. Therefore, the choice of books should be cautious, since many authors, whose works claim to adolescent literature, should be read at an older age, when the psyche and world view have already been formed.

The most popular children's and teenage books

Now we should sum up and list what are the most popular modern children's writers and their works. Writing on this topic is often asked for students, so let's turn to the rating of popular authors of children.

• Max Fry and his series "Echo Labyrinths" and "Echo Chronicles";
• Dan Simmons - "Illyon", "Winter ghosts", etc .;
• Arkady and Boris Strugatsky (these authors are considered classics of Russian fiction);
• Diane Duane also writes in the style of fiction;
• Donald Bisset is a popular children's writer.

Reviews of various children's writers of our time

We should also say about the reviews that are received by modern children's writers and their works. Of course, every parent who reads a book to a child, or an adult enough to choose literature, has completely different tastes. But try to identify several authors who liked most readers.

For example, the stories of the Swedish writer Sven Nordkvist about Petson and Findus are very popular among young children. It should be noted that he himself illustrates his books. The works themselves are distinguished by their simplicity and interesting presentation. Many parents say that they gladly buy his books and read to his children.

Older children like Donald Bisset very much . Although some parents complain that in some moments the stories lack a sense of logic, but overall the impression is quite good. The whole work is kind and very nice. In the books of this author you can find various stories about animals that fell into funny and funny situations.

For teenagers, especially those who like fantastic stories, Diane Duane's books will suit. She writes very interesting, and most importantly, in her books there are special laws of the universe, where necessarily good will be rewarded with good and help, and evil - with justice. Diane Duane's books attract even adult readers who appreciate her work positively.
