the staff of the libraries of Moscow tell mos.ru about books that are worth reading and discussing with your children. This week, the chief librarian of the Central children’s library No. 152 Marianne and Borisov advises new works, and those that have already become classics.
“once there was a dog,” Irina Pivovarova
As practice shows, the smallest most like to listen to the verses. We in the library during the regime of self-isolation suit with readers online conversation “How to read child from zero to six years.” Here’s what I can say: kids especially respond to the rhythm and intonation of the voice.
I would like to recommend a collection of poems by the Soviet poet, prose writer and Illustrator Irina Pivovarova “there once was a dog”. This is a reissue of pieces that first appeared in print in 1980-ies. Many adults will remember these quiet good poems about home, nature and Pets. They are easy to remember, and a child who can’t read, can easily learn rhymes to the ear. And then when the kid grows up, he read “Stories Lucy Sinitsyna, a pupil of the third class”, who also wrote Pivovarova.
“home!” Jutta of Langreiter
No less than poems, kids love short stories and picture-books. The book of the German writer Jutta of Langreiter “home!” — a cautionary tale about parents and that even though they force children to do boring things (to wash, to maintain order and to do exercises, for example), I really love them. The main character of this funny book — little Bunny-rebel Josie, who decided to leave home, where many rules.
Jutta Langreiter is one of the most popular children’s writers in Germany. Writing books for kids she began, when I became a mother. For some time she operated the shop of children’s literature, and therefore knows exactly what young readers.
“Ala, Classic and the letter And” Irina Tokmakova
In Junior high a kid can read by himself — the main thing is not to force it. Better make that a joint reading of the most pleasant, then he will reach for the books. I would also add that it is important to create an evening ritual before bedtime, when you can just talk about what they read. Ideal owner of a children’s poet and novelist Irina Tokmakova — “Ala, Classic and the letter a”.
the Story is wonderful, it has already become a classic, first appeared in the magazine “Murzilka”. This is a great opportunity to go on a fantastic journey through the country where you live letter. There is lost the most important letter A. Without it, the girl Alya can’t write a letter to my mom. Stories have a sequel, but about the numbers, it is called “Maybe zero is not guilty?”.
“Teddy rabbit or How toys become real” Margery ��the Williams
For family reading also recommend the famous book of Margery Williams “Teddy rabbit or How toys become real”, written in 1922. This is a touching and heart-warming story of the relationship of a boy and his stuffed rabbit. Kids will be very interesting to see the adventures of the characters, but adults will see in a simple story, something deeper and more serious.
For this book Margery Williams was nominated for the award “the Medal of John Newbery”, which is awarded for contribution to American literature for children.
“Truth or consequences” Annika Thor
Now make a lot of good books for teenagers. There are plenty to choose: there are historical novels, and informative read, books about animals, about human relationships, adventure, fantasy. I suggest to pay attention to the latest novel by Swedish writer Annika Thor “Truth or consequences”. The main character Nora turned friend from high school, starting to make friends with another classmate, rich and arrogant. The hole and so upset, and then there was amiss with her trying to communicate Karin is an outcast and a wallflower. Interesting to follow the behavior of Nora.
If your teen will enjoy this book, be sure to pay attention to other novels Annika Thor — they are all about growing up and finding yourself. For example, perfect debut “island in the sea”, which earned her the German prize for children’s and youth literature and the International literary prize named after Janusz Korczak.
a”mess” of Morris Gleitzman
the Book by Australian author Morris Gleitzman “Talker” too, about a difficult period in a teenager’s life. The main character Rowena considers itself as the most talkative girl in the world. But her gab no one suspects: she says mentally — because of problems with his throat, the girl could not utter a word. Rowena shows a good example: do not be afraid to be different, because everyone has the right to be yourself.
I like that Gleitzman writes with humor about such a seemingly difficult things. And in General, he writes very well — no wonder it is called one of the most popular writers of Australia.
