Bedtime stories for children 2 3. Fairy tales for children for any age

Reading children's fairy tales has a beneficial effect on children 1-2 years old. At this age, children's perception absorbs environment like a sponge, so it's time to introduce sons and daughters to magical world fairy tales and poems.

By starting to read fairy tales, you open the door for your child to a new stage of development. Reading enriches lexicon kids, trains memory and helps strengthen nervous system. If you start reading poetry, you will notice with what genuine interest children 1-2 years old listen to them. At this tender age, rhyming tales are perceived better than prose, and in the future the children will happily learn quatrains.

The main thing is that the reading process arouses interest, so do not force your child to read fairy tales. Let the telling of fairy tale stories bring only positive emotions. Then, when they grow up, they will not have the association “reading is absolutely forced.”

Reading fairy tales and poems to children 1-2 years old is the key to the successful development and education of the child in the future.

I think it’s time to add another portion of interesting children’s reading to our collection. Moreover, my review of books for children 2-3 years old has been started a long time ago and is not finished. you can find an article with a selection of books by foreign authors, as well. And since Russian writers and Russian folk art have so far been undeservedly deprived of attention, we will talk about them today.

Many of the books on today's list are familiar to all of us from an early age. Chukovsky, Mikhalkov and Marshak were perhaps the main books of my childhood. However, thanks to my daughter, I discovered other wonderful Russian authors whose existence I had never even suspected before. These are Renata Mukha, Vadim Levin, Genrikh Sapgir and many others. You can read more about all of them below.

• R. Mukha, V. Levin, V. Lunin “Polite Elephant” (Ozon, Labyrinth, My-shop)

I'll start with a collection of poems, which for a long time was our absolute favorite. With this book we sincerely laughed, were surprised, and looked at the bizarre illustrations. The poems here are endowed with a share of mischief and subtle humor, which, by the way, is quite understandable to a child from 2-2.5 years old. And, it should be noted that, despite the entertaining note in the text, there is certainly something to discuss and remember.

Krasovskaya’s illustrations deserve special attention. First of all, there are a lot of them. Secondly, they are bright, infinitely kind and very funny. They are perfect for this funny text.

I also really liked the collection of poems Renata Mukha “Good Bad Weather” (Ozon, Labyrinth, My-shop) (or its analogue " Stung already"), I gave it to my friends when “Polite Elephant” was not on sale. A large format book with no less wonderful illustrations by Antonenkov, Renata Mukha’s poems in this book are the same as in “Polite Elephant”, one drawback - there is no Levin and Lunin. And the book is beyond praise.

• A. Barto “Poems” (Ozon, Labyrinth, My-shop)

I think 2-3 summer child already knows by heart “The Mistress Abandoned the Bunny” and “Dropped the Teddy Bear on the Floor”, but the collection “Toys” is, although the most famous, it is far from the only collection that Agnia Lvovna left us as a legacy. For me, for example, her poems from the cycles “Vovka is a kind soul”, “Younger brother”, “Nastenka”, “I am growing” became a real discovery. These are just wonderful poems about guys, about their ordinary everyday problems and discoveries. The "Children's" theme makes them very close and understandable for children. And I consider the poems from the “Younger Brother” series generally necessary if another baby is born or is expected in the family, because... they teach care and kindness towards children. All poems are easy and accessible. Best for children over 2 years old.

Poems from the above-mentioned cycles are published in one form or another in various collections. Unfortunately, we were given not the most successful edition of Barto, I would even say one of the most unsuccessful, with tacky computer illustrations. The book, of course, is not suitable for instilling artistic taste in a child, but my daughter latched on to it so much that she had to put up with these tasteless pictures and read whatever she was asked to read.

Fortunately, you can find better editions in stores, for example, such.

• Z. Aleksandrova “Poems” (Ozon, Labyrinth, My-shop)

Perhaps Tasin’s favorite poem is Alexandrova’s “About a Girl Yes and a Boy No,” but there are many other good and memorable poems in the collection. Like Barto, Alexandrova’s poems are also mainly about children: about how they play hide-and-seek, play horse, build a scooter, pick flowers, and so on. If we compare it with Barto, the book was still not so beloved by us (some poems seemed difficult to understand and not so catchy), but on the whole the book takes a worthy place in our library.

• “The White House and the Black Cat” retold by B. Zakhoder (Ozon, Labyrinth, My-shop)

Have you ever heard of the artist Tralislav Trulyalinsky, who lives in Pripevaisk, on Veselinsky Lane? If not yet, then you definitely need to meet this cheerful artist and his family, who dance and sing all day long! He lives on the pages of this short collection of funny and unusual Polish poems in the brilliant retelling of Boris Zakhoder. When reading the book, it evokes a storm of emotions in my child. And although there are only 3 poems here, they don’t get boring. I recommend it to get in a good mood.

• I. Tokmakova “Where the Fish Sleeps” (Ozon, Labyrinth, My-shop)

Another famous Soviet poetess is Irina Tokmakova. We present her work in the form of a small but very wonderful collection “Where the Fish Sleeps.” The poems are very lively and playful, the style is light and pleasant, and there is also humor. We read it with pleasure and learned the entire book by heart.

Another example good collection Tokmakova – "The sun goes around in circles" (Ozon, Labyrinth, My-shop).

• G. Sapgir “Forests-miracles” (Ozon, Labyrinth, My-shop)

Perhaps someone remembers Sapgir’s work from their childhood, but I met him quite recently, together with my daughter. On first reading, the poems seem quite unusual and the rhymes unconventional. But the more you read, the more you get into it. And now the text flows like a song.

This amazing book smells like a fairy tale. Everything here is unusual: in the miracle forests, an owl welcomes a bear, a deer plays tag, a kind lion offers its paw to passers-by, and in the land of Laughter there live laughers who can even laugh at an evil dragon so much that it burns to the ground. Reading this book, you are immersed in the fairy-tale worlds that the author has outlined. I really don’t want to leave them. The drawings very harmoniously complement the text and are just as magical.

• I. Surikov “Childhood” (Ozon, Labyrinth, My-shop)

I have already written about this magnificent book.

• WITH. Mikhalkov “The most favorite fairy tales and poems for kids” (Ozon, Labyrinth, My-shop)

I can’t imagine raising a child without Mikhalkov’s poems, probably because they were read to me most often in childhood, and Uncle Styopa and stubborn Foma were too firmly entrenched in my head. So my assessment will definitely not be objective, and how can one evaluate a classic that has been tested over the years. Every child should have this book!

And Mikhalkov also has an amazing talent, without any tediousness (like, for example, Prokofieva), in a sweet and funny manner, telling children about their little flaws in behavior, whims, and stubbornness.

In our collection ( Follow the link for a complete analogue of our book), perhaps the most complete collection of Mikhalkov's fairy tales and poems. The only thing I didn’t really like about the collection is that it contains a lot of completely different artists, and I can’t say that I liked all the illustrations.

• K. Chukovsky “Fairy Tales” (Ozon, Labyrinth, My-shop)

• S. Marshak “Poems and Fairy Tales” (Ozon, Labyrinth, My-shop)

• V. Suteev in fairy tales and pictures (Ozon, Labyrinth, My-shop)

There are a huge number of collections united by Suteev’s pictures. When purchasing, be sure to read the contents, because... they often publish works by Mikhalkov, Marshak, Chukovsky, and perhaps you already have them.

• Russian folk tales (Ozon, Labyrinth, My-shop)

To be honest, my attitude towards Russian folk tales is ambiguous. And although I can’t help but read them to my child (they are classics, after all), I often don’t understand what their moral is. Yes, of course, in some fairy tales there are useful ideas, for example, not to let an unfamiliar wolf into the house, as in “The Wolf and the Seven Little Kids,” or not to go far into the forest without girlfriends, as in “Masha and the Bear.” But I don’t understand at all what the moral of those fairy tales is, where the best bride and life goes to a lazy fool, and why the fairy tale teaches you to rely on a wonderful pike, a burka or a magic ring, and not on your own strength. There are some fairy tales that even frighten you with their cruelty, such as “Tereshechka,” where Chuvilikha fried and ate her daughter. Having become thoroughly familiar with folk art, I decided to still read fairy tales, but with some filtering and explanation.

To introduce my daughter to folklore, I chose a collection from the AST publishing house. I liked the quantity and quality of the pictures here, the presentation of the fairy tales themselves (and it must be said that it differs significantly from collection to collection). Here there are not only the simplest fairy tales, like Kolobok and Teremok, but also those that are longer and more complex.

Many fairy tales can also be found separately, for example, in the following publications:

• "Straw bull - tar barrel" (Ozon, Labyrinth, My-shop)

• (Ozon, Labyrinth, My-shop)

This is Georgian folk tale with the favorite plot “Bring me this first, then I’ll give you that” (as, for example, in “The Cockerel and the Beanstalk”). It was published quite decently by the Nigma publishing house.

• "Talkingfairy tales» (Ozon, My-shop, Read)

Well, for a change you can read the so-called “talking fairy tales”. Their essence is that when a certain word appears in the text, you need to press a button with the corresponding sound. For example, when reading the words “Martynka felt sorry cat ...”, the baby clicks on the image of a kitten and hears meowing. Taisiya still enjoys this kind of entertainment, which is why these books, having outlived many of their “colleagues,” still live on our shelves and never go into the closet.
