A year and a half will pass, and caring parents who want their child to be not only healthy, but also developed, will ask the question: what educational literature is suitable for their beloved child? The solution to this problem can be found by reading our article.

Educational literature for preschoolers

The reliable fact is that fiction plays a major role in the mental and aesthetic development of the child. Therefore, experts in this field advise parents to read books to him from the first years of his child’s life. This is necessary for the growth of thinking and imagination, for subtle perception native language and correct speech formation. Therefore, it is important that educational literature for preschool children meets all the requirements of teachers.

How to navigate the modern world?

Unfortunately, modern parents allow their children to spend too much time watching TV and the computer, and this negatively affects the physical and psycho-emotional health of the child. Children unconsciously copy the behavior of cartoon characters and often become aggressive and uncontrollable.

Inexperienced parents can abruptly prohibit their children from watching their favorite cartoons and programs, which is fundamentally wrong. It is necessary to gently remove the child from a dependent state with the help of games and conversations. This is another reason to spend more time with children, reading or telling them fairy tales or interesting stories.

The first thing parents should consider is the age and interests of the child. To this day, teachers have endless debates: which educational literature is more useful for preschoolers, how much literature should a child under seven years old be familiar with, how does it affect the child’s personality, and so on? It is children's books that shape speech development. And the more often the baby sees a book in the hands of his parents, the more he will trust it.

Before putting the child to bed, parents are advised to read a fairy tale, poems, or sing a lullaby to their son or daughter. This should be done regularly and become a tradition. You need to know that the more clearly the words are pronounced by the parents, the faster the baby will remember them, and he will begin to use them in his speech.

Educational literature for children

Parents whose children are growing up are advised to make the book “My First Book. The most beloved”, published by the publishing house “White City”. According to parents' reviews, this book helps a one and a half year old child to distinguish geometric shapes, to distinguish a passenger car from a truck, a crane from an excavator. The baby easily remembers the names of fruits and vegetables, distinguishes colors and their shades, and so on.

Which children's publishing houses have the best books?

The “Educational Literature” series includes books from the publishing houses “Mosaika-Sintez”, “Smart Books”, “Swallowtail”, which are indispensable for children two to three years old. With their help, parents teach their children the first letters and the basics of mathematics. In a playful manner, children begin to distinguish time, put letters into words, and so on. A simple and accessible form of education is primarily appreciated by parents.

Currently, educational literature for preschoolers is diverse and takes into account all the nuances in raising children. For this purpose, they produce toy books that can be bitten and shaken, and at the same time they combine games and learning and develop children's imagination. This series includes the rattle book “My First Words. Mom and kids" with high quality drawings.

Not long ago, an interactive book by the French artist Herve Tulle, “The Living Book,” was released in Russia. The reaction to it was mixed. Some parents were delighted, others doubted its benefits. It is interesting that the book is not a writer, but an artist, in which the “main characters” are multi-colored circles. To distinguish whether it is educational literature or not, you need to look at the reaction of children. Typically, children under four years of age enjoy looking at pictures and playing with books, developing their imagination.

How to develop a child

Another book by a foreign author that received greatest number reviews - this is “Secrets of Plasticine” by Roni Oren. It shows so simply and easily how to sculpt from plasticine that not only children, but also adults enjoy doing this activity. Following the author's design, preschool children not only develop hand motor skills, but also learn good taste. You can easily verify this by going to the author’s page.

Of course, native Russian and Soviet children's literature begins with fairy tales and poems by Korney Chukovsky, Samuil Marshak and Sergei Mikhalkov. It is impossible not to mention Alexander Volkov, Boris Zakhoder and other equally beloved authors of the grandparents of modern children.

Books that teach goodness

Educational literature for children is an invariable assistant to parents in raising kindness, sensitivity, and compassion in their children. Thus, the book (and cartoon) “Cat House” by Samuil Marshak with illustrations excites the imagination of a child who begins to understand how important it is to be able to feel sorry for, love and give shelter to homeless and defenseless people and animals.

A fairy tale by modern writer Elena Rakitina with drawings by Victoria Kirdiy about a hedgehog is called “Seryozhik”. She was loved by both children and parents. And there are many similar examples. If previously special educational programs in literature were developed only for schoolchildren, today the same programs exist for preschoolers.

And this is correct, since an abundance of useless information seeps into the mind and soul of a child, causing it, rather, harm, and Toolkit for parents will help them navigate the correct formation of character in their own sons and daughters.

Seems. I really like the selection offered - the best works for children are truly highlighted, this is a meaningful, reasonable and fairly complete list.

Listening to a fairy tale or book, watching a cartoon or a play, a child unconsciously identifies himself with their characters and, empathizing with the hero, lives with him all the events about which the story is told.If such empathy does not occur, the book or film passes by the child, leaving no trace in his soul.Therefore, when choosing books and films for your child, it is important to pay attention, first of all, to what their characters are like (what they strive for, how they act, what kind of relationships they enter into with other characters), and how vividly, interestingly and talentedly they are portrayed (otherwise empathy will not arise).

The baby begins to understand human speech even before he learns to speak himself. It is easiest for him to understand the situational everyday speech of adults, included in a directly perceived situation. In this case, the situation itself helps the baby: he sees what adults are talking about.

Perceiving an oral story is a more complex skill, because in the present situation there is nothing that is present in the story. Therefore, the baby must be taught to perceive a story - and his ability to understand books and fairy tales develops when you tell or read to him. Pictures are a huge help in this. As your baby grows, the range of stories available to him gradually expands - but only if you read and tell him enough.

Therefore, the age boundaries of each stage of perception of stories are quite blurred. If you tell and read a lot to your son or daughter, focus on the lower limit of each age level (see below), if not enough, on the upper limit.

1. Stories for the little ones (for children approximately 1.5-2 to 3-4 years old)

“Turnip”, “Ryaba Hen”, “Teremok”, “Kolobok” - all these fairy tales can be told to a child starting from one and a half to two years old, showing him pictures and looking at them with him. To them you can add Russian folk nursery rhymes, poems by Agnia Barto for kids ("The bull goes, sways...", "Our Tanya is crying bitterly..." and others), "Chicken" by Korney Chukovsky and "Chicken and Duckling" by Vladimir Suteev .

This is very short stories, either describing a single event (Ryaba Hen laid a golden egg, Tanya dropped a ball into the river, etc.), or built as a chain of similar episodes (first the grandfather pulls the turnip, then the grandfather and grandmother, and so on). They are told in simple sentences, have a lot of repetition and rhyme, and require a relatively small vocabulary to understand. Many of them are transitional forms from nursery rhymes (such as “The Magpie-Crow was cooking porridge...”) to fairy tales.

As a rule, young children enjoy listening to these fairy tales and poems many times. When the child already knows this or that fairy tale well enough, invite him to tell it himself, using pictures and relying on your help. If your child likes to listen to fairy tales and poems from the first section, try gradually adding a few books from the second section (just be sure to have pictures).

It is best not to read these fairy tales to very young children (one and a half to two and even three years old), but to tell them by showing them pictures and looking at them together. It is always easier for a child to perceive text based on pictures, so when telling or reading the first fairy tales and poems to him, be sure to show him all the characters in the pictures and look at the pictures with him.

Note: if you can find a slide projector and filmstrips with these fairy tales, be sure to show them to your child - filmstrips are much better perceived than cartoons, they make the eyes less tired, and they help to understand the text (and do not replace it with action, as happens in cartoons) .

It is very important for a child that the story ends well. A good ending gives him a feeling of reliability in the world, while a bad (including realistic) ending contributes to the emergence of all kinds of fears. Therefore, it is better to tell “Teremok” in the version when, after the tower fell apart, the animals built a new one, even better than the previous one. “Kolobok” should initially be told with a good ending - for example, by figuring out how Kolobok at the last moment managed to outwit the Fox and run away from her.

If you talk and play a lot with your baby and started telling and reading fairy tales to him early, then at two and a half or three years old you can move on to the books of the next section. However, children with whom they talk little and to whom little stories are told and read can “grow up” to the books of the next section only by the age of five or six, or even later, especially if they watch a lot of TV and are not used to listening to stories.

2. The stories are a little more complex (for children from about 2.5-3 to 6-7 years old)

At the second “level of complexity” you can put numerous books by Vladimir Suteev ("Under the Mushroom", "The Magic Wand", "Apple" and others), many poetic fairy tales by Korney Chukovsky ("Telephone", "Fedorino's Mountain", "Moidodyr", "Aibolit"), poems by Samuil Marshak ("Mustache-striped", "Where did you have dinner, sparrow?", "He's so absent-minded" and others), as well as his translations of children's English rhymes (for example, "Gloves", "Visiting Queen", "Boat", "Humpty Dumpty"). This also includes folk tales about animals (“Tails”, “The Cat and the Fox”, “The Fox with a Rolling Pin”, “Zayushkina’s Hut” and others), fables by Sergei Mikhalkov (“Who wins?”, “The Helpful Hare”, “Friends in hike") and many other stories.

Note: some of K. Chukovsky’s fairy tales are quite scary for children, and it is best to read them no earlier than five or six years old - they are included in section 3.

These stories are already a little longer; as a rule, they consist of several separate episodes related in meaning. The relationships between their characters become a little more complex, the dialogues become more complex; To understand these stories, the baby needs a larger vocabulary.

A good ending and no events that are too scary (even if they end well) are still important. Therefore, it is better to postpone acquaintance with most fairy tales until at least six or seven years. Even Little Red Riding Hood often frightens young children. Children who fairy tales they begin to talk or read early (at four or five years old), at best, then they are simply not loved, at worst, they can develop all sorts of fears and nightmares. So if you read a lot to your child and he quickly mastered this section, choose from the books in the next section those where nothing terrible happens - for example, Nosov's stories, Nikolai Gribachev's stories about the hare Koska and his friends, or Astrid Lindgren's stories.

If you talk and play a lot with your baby and started telling him fairy tales and reading books early enough, then the stories in this section will be most interesting to him at three or four years old, and at the age of five he will be able to supplement them with books from the next section. The child will willingly listen and read his favorite stories later, with pleasure again and again living the situations in which his favorite characters find themselves.

And when starting to read independently (whether at five, six, seven or even eight years old), a child should return to the fairy tales and stories in this section - they are short and simple, they are accompanied by numerous bright pictures that help overcome the difficulties of independent reading. It is also better to start learning to retell from fairly simple texts, which is why some of the stories in this section are often included in textbooks and reading anthologies for primary school.

If a child watches a lot of TV and videos and listens little to fairy tales and books, it may be difficult for him to perceive the stories of this section at the age of four or five (not counting, of course, the cartoons based on them). In this case, you can stay on the books in this section for up to six or seven years, gradually adding fairy tales and stories of the next level to them.

3. Funny stories and exciting adventures (for children from approximately 5-6 to 8-9 years old)

The books in this section are very different. There are stories for all tastes: scary fairy tales (for example, fairy tales of different nations retold for children), and funny and cheerful adventures (for example, the adventures of Dunno and the donkey Mafin, Pinocchio and the Moomins, the hare Koska and Pippi Long stocking), and ironic narratives by Gregory Oster and Alan Milne. There are short fables and long stories, poetry and prose.

What they have in common is that these are all stories for preschoolers who love to listen and read books; "TV" children usually do not understand them - they cannot concentrate on listening to long enough stories, and they lack the imagination to imagine the events described in them.

Some of these books are published in different versions - with big amount bright pictures or in a more “adult” form, where there are few or no pictures. For preschoolers, even the oldest and smartest, it is better to buy books in bright and colorful designs; pictures help them imagine the characters in the book and the events that happen to them.

If a child was read very little before school, it may be difficult for him to perceive these stories even at eight or nine years old. In this case, simply reading to a child is often no longer enough for him to learn to understand literary texts. It is necessary to conduct special correctional and educational classes with such children - otherwise they will not be able to cope with the school curriculum, and their inner world will remain undeveloped and primitive.

Children who are read a lot may well fall in love with some of the books in the next section before school (they are somewhat more complex in language and plot, and are usually read by schoolchildren aged 7-11).

4. More complex stories, interesting for older preschoolers who love to listen and read books and have already read most of the stories from the last section (usually these books are read by schoolchildren aged 7-11, and often - and with pleasure - by adults)

“The Scarlet Flower” and “The Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors”, “Mowgli” and “Nils’s Wonderful Journey with the Wild Geese” - these and many other books, usually included in reading lists for schoolchildren, are quite accessible to many preschoolers if they like to listen and read books and have already read most of the stories from the last section. In the books of this group, the semantic picture of the world becomes more complex and dismembered. Their characters experience moral conflicts, learn to understand other people and build relationships with them, their relationships become more complex and can change as the action progresses. The text itself becomes more complex: the plot lengthens and becomes more branched, the description of the feelings and experiences of the characters begins to occupy a large place, descriptions, author’s digressions and reflections of the characters are added, the same situation can be shown from the positions of different characters.

It is not at all necessary to switch to books in this group before school; this should only be done if you have already re-read most of the books in the third section with your child. And one more thing: since these books are more complex both in language and in content, it is better for the child to read them with you - even if he already reads quite well on his own.

This responsible task falls on the shoulders of adults, who at first take care of the still unintelligent baby. The control function is also relevant at an older age, coinciding with the period of formation of ideas about such concepts as “good” and “bad,” “good” and “evil.”

For many years, books have been associated with sources of knowledge. Not so long ago, the level of well-being and intellectual development of a family was assessed by the number of books and periodicals available in the house, from which people (including children) drew new information.

Nowadays, the fascinating world of books is one of the few ways to distract children from watching TV and computer games. During moments of reading aloud, the strengthening of connections between an adult and a child is recorded. The attention paid to the baby at this stage will pay off handsomely in the future. A child who is aware of his own importance will eventually turn into a conscious citizen who knows how to defend his own point of view and cares about his elders.

Ideally, on a bookshelf reserved for children's books, there will be space for diverse samples of printed products. As practice shows, time-tested masterpieces of the classics are able to coexist peacefully with the geniuses of our time. In terms of demand among children and parents, fairy tales and funny stories are successfully rivaled by publications focused on children's creativity. The range of such literature is very diverse. It includes manuals on design, drawing, modeling, appliqué, etc.

Parents who understand the importance comprehensive development beloved child, focus on acquiring publications that are worthy from their point of view. Books that appeal to children are re-read many times, and do not lie like dead weight on a shelf.

Friends and close relatives will help you complete the list. You can get acquainted with new book releases using the Internet. To do this, just enter the appropriate query in the search bar and read the reviews.

Children of older preschool age can visit bookstores with adults. It is quite possible that during such visits, young book lovers will pay attention to the design of a particular book and want to read it. Introducing a child to regular reading is a complex process. Parents should not discourage their child from doing something useful. Purchasing publications that your child likes helps maintain interest in reading and increase the desire to acquire new knowledge.

Slow letter-by-letter reading or even the inability to read creates for today's first-graders serious problems. Besides, learning to read at the age of seven...

Permanent leaders


On the fairy tales of A.S. Several generations have grown up in Pushkin. Both pensioners and preschool children who are taking their first steps on the path of life are familiar with the work of the legendary poet.
The works of the great master of words top more than a dozen lists of books recommended for reading during preschool childhood.

The latter included “The Cat's House”, “Children in a Cage”, “The Tale of a Smart Mouse”, “The Tale of a Stupid Mouse”, “Mustachioed and Striped” by Samuil Marshak, “Vasily the Cat” by Alexei Krylov and poems by Agnia Barto. Easy-to-remember poetic lines introduce children to unfamiliar facets of the surrounding reality. Little ones do not remain indifferent to the adventures of such world-famous book heroes as Carlson, Pinocchio, etc.

Age preferences

At the stage of choosing books, it is advisable to take into account the age of the child. Parents should remember that children who cannot read are not capable of comprehending large texts with complex content. Until the fourth birthday, the majority of mothers and fathers concentrate on the development of the baby. Following the advice of eminent luminaries in the field of pedagogy, parents give preference to educational literature. Such publications are focused on the formation of spatial and figurative thinking. They expand the preschooler’s understanding of the world around him and help expand his vocabulary.

Books for younger preschool age

"White City" pleased married couples raising children who have not crossed the three-year age limit. “My first book. My favorite. From 6 months to 3 years” was highly appreciated by many parents due to the publication’s inherent brevity and accessibility of presentation. Even those who have not reached three years old preschoolers studying with this book have an idea of ​​simple geometric shapes, can recite the names of berries, vegetables and fruits, distinguish a truck from a fire truck and an excavator from a crane. Designed for babies of this age and “Baby’s First Book. Encyclopedia for children from 6 months and older."

Consumers also liked “Smart Books” (Makhaon Publishing House) and “School of the Seven Dwarfs” (Mosaika-Sintez Publishing House), aimed at children aged 2-3 years. A characteristic feature of the learning process established with their help is the accessibility of the material, which is explained by game form presentation. This principle is fundamental for all developmental books published for children of the specified age category. Thanks to these books, preschoolers can easily master their first letters, read their first words in their lives, learn to tell time, develop logical thinking skills and become familiar with the simplest mathematical terms.

Many parents cannot refuse to purchase so-called toy books. In addition to literary ones, they have gaming and educational functions. Some samples (for example, “Tumbler Rattles/My First Words/Moms and Babies”) are allowed to be bitten and shaken. This series also includes “Puzzle Books/Moms and Babies.”

Many kids love working with stickers. The “School for Kids” is aimed at such children. U Many stickers for children 2 years old. Educational book with stickers" and an educational game poster "Let's go, swim, fly", equipped with stickers intended for reusable use.


In addition to the classics, the creativity of modern masters of the pen is in demand.
The fairy tale “Serezhik” (author Elena Rakitina) introduces young readers to a little hedgehog, whose adventures are followed with interest by both children and their parents. The poetic lines of Julia Donaldson (“The Snail and the Whale”, “I Want to Go to Mama”, “Charlie Cook’s Favorite Book”, “The Gruffalo. A Tale in Verse”) are as popular as Anne Hogard’s stories about a donkey named Muffin and his cheerful friends. Rhyming stories and prose aimed at children teach children to intuitively sense goodness and perform morally correct actions.

Among the unusual publications, the “Living Book” by the artist Hervé Tulle (France) should be noted. Interactive interaction is based on the imagination of the baby. This approach excludes the possibility of using digital devices that are popular today. The reaction of parents to this experiment is mixed.

Among the children's authors who prefer the traditional style of presenting material is O. Zemtsova (“Developing attention for 2-3 years” and “Literacy. 2-3 years”). She is accompanied by O. Gromova and L. Pavlova (“More about the bunny”), E. Karganova (“Chunya”), as well as M. Rosen and H. Oxenbury (“Let’s go catch a bear”) and S. Teplyuk (“Book - a dream about that same Bunny, about birthdays, about big and small and quiet poems. Children from 1-3").

Little ones who are prone to creativity can purchase the publication “Learning to Sculpt. Art album for activities with children 1-3 years old" (author Koldina D.).

Books for older preschool age

Growing up children need variety. During this period, the bookshelves allocated for children should contain a sufficient number of both domestic and foreign fairy tales. Invented stories can be diluted with children's poems and stories, age-appropriate encyclopedias and copies included in the Children's Leisure series.

For several years, Roni Oren with his “Secrets of Plasticine” has been a confident leader in a wide variety of popularity lists. This book opens the door to the magical world of plasticine. Both children and adults can work on creating funny characters. The hours spent doing an exciting activity fly by unnoticed. In moments of creativity, kids do not remember either the computer or the TV, which especially pleases caring mothers and fathers. In addition, the book provides invaluable assistance in organizing family leisure, makes parents remember their own childhood and brings them closer to their children.

Conclusion

The fun of reading is not limited to educational and entertainment functions. The right books can be priceless family heirlooms, contributing to the establishment of mutual understanding between parents and children and carefully passed on to the next generations.

As practice shows, children do not remain indifferent to the fate of their bookish peers who find themselves in a difficult life situation and are forced to extricate themselves from a difficult situation. The inner strength inherent in the heroes convinces preschoolers that they can cope with the assigned tasks. Prominent examples of such books are Pollyanna, Little Lord Fauntleroy and No Family, which help nurture the spirit and instill empathy skills.

Children perceive the surrounding reality differently than adults, but with age we, parents, forget about this. To understand this issue,...

Quite often, Cippolino and Buratino also find themselves in difficult situations, preferring to get out of difficult situations in adventurous ways. The importance of such books in early childhood cannot be underestimated. Adults are obliged to provide the child with various examples of literary creativity. The latter should include funny stories, giving the baby positive emotions and unobtrusively captivating him into the magical world of the printed word.

We couldn't help but publish a very interesting article from the magazine " Preschool education» - lists of books for preschool children - traditional, modern, classical, historical, for speech development.
The editors of the magazine asked teachers, educators, librarians, publishers - that is, specialists in children's reading - to make a list of ten points and thereby answer the question: “What books, in your opinion, should a child read by the age of 7, that is, before the age of 7?” called primary school age?

The idea of ​​the list is, rather, not methodological, not pedagogical, but of a parental nature. All parents think about the question of what exactly to read to their child, why and at what age. In addition, we ourselves have lines that we have loved since childhood, which we, as a reserved property, would like to pass on to our children and grandchildren. These lines are our common spiritual territory with children, the basis of future mutual understanding and signs of agreement.

Of course, the list of books for preschool reading is not limited to ten items. Here we had to limit our experts. There was one more limitation: everyone understands that Pushkin’s fairy tales, by definition, will be the first item on any list of literature. Therefore, we asked our experts not to include it in our list. Let us assume that the figure of Pushkin is invisibly present in our lives, including when compiling lists of literature.
So, book lists.

TRADITIONAL list of books for children

Marina Shurygina, teacher of kindergarten No. 325

Marshak's poems are distinguished by their philosophical content and reveal to children unfamiliar facets of the world around them.
3. Poems by Agnia Barto.
4. Russian folk tales.
5. Stories about animals by Evgeny Charushin, Nikolai Sladkov, Konstantin Ushinsky.

MODERN

Yulia Glotova, Maria Zimina, representatives of the Children's Book Shop, one of best stores children's books in Russia
1. Konstantin Sergienko “Cardboard Heart”. Why Cardboard Heart? Because this is a poignant children's non-children's book. It will definitely appeal to young readers and will not leave indifferent adults who have failed to grow up. This is a book that can be re-read, and each time you will come across more and more new pitfalls.
2. Sven Nordqvist “Petson and Findus”.
3. Annie M. G. Schmidt “Sasha and Masha.”
4. Lobel Arnold "Quack and Toad all year round."
5. Alexey Laptev “Peak, Pak, Pock.”
6. Julia Donaldson "The Gruffalo".
7. Sekora Ondrej "Ferda's Ant".
8. Berner Rotraut Susanna “Summer Book”.
9. Roni Oren “Secrets of Plasticine.”
10. Victor Lunin “Buttery Lisa.”

CLASSICAL

Elena Potapkina, teacher primary classes, one of the founders of the Children's Book Theater "Magic Lamp"
1. Classic stories for children by A.P. Chekhova, L.N. Tolstoy.
2. J. Rodari. “The Adventures of Cipollino.”
3. A. Tolstoy. "The Golden Key, or the Adventures of Pinocchio."
4. All original fairy tales.
5. Poems by A. Barto.
6. Works by A. Usachev.
7. Stories by L. Panteleev and A. Gaidar.
8. G. Malo. "Without family".
9.F. H. Burnett. "Little Lord Fauntleroy."
10. E. Porter. "Pollyanna."
“Without a Family”, “Little Lord Fauntleroy”, “Pollyanna” - all these are books about children who find themselves in difficult life situations, from which they get out on their own. God gave them faith, each of them firmly believes in goodness, and therefore they meet people who help them overcome the difficult circumstances of their lives. The heroes of these books carry within themselves a powerful charge of happiness and inner strength, and this should resonate in the soul of a child. This is an important example for little man, because in early childhood almost everyone experiences a moment of doubt in themselves and in their abilities. The selected books are intended to be read by adults to children, because if an adult himself sympathizes with the hero, he will be able to smooth out all the complexities of the text. Actually, this good school empathy, education of the spirit and formation of feelings - the hero withstands the trials that befell him, and the reader must endure them with him.
As for “The Adventures of Pinocchio” and “Cipollino”, the hero in them also finds himself in a difficult situation, but gets out of it in a different way, an adventurous one. Such books are important in early childhood, because the child should have reading that would make him laugh and captivate him.

HISTORICAL

Ekaterina Kashirskaya, director of the publishing house “Walk into History”
1. L. Tokmakov. "Funny walks around Moscow."
2. E. Shenderovich. "About battles and battles."
3. English folk tales (Moscow Textbooks publishing house).
4. “Mountain of Gems.” Tales of the peoples of Russia. Based on cartoons from the Pilot studio. All issues (“Sapphire”, “Amber”, “Emerald”, “Pearl”, “Ruby”). Fairy tales of the peoples of Russia - “Mountain of Gems” is a wonderful project, in five book series of which various fairy tales are collected. Children very quickly begin to like certain ones and ask to reread them. This is very good, because you can talk to the child, try to understand why he asks to read the fairy tale again, maybe he really liked it for some reason, or maybe, on the contrary, it scares him in some way. Then parents have a chance to understand their child, figure out what worries him and what he is worried about.
Literature for young children should be exactly like this - talk about life, feelings and thoughts, and historical and ethnographic details should go “in the background”, create the necessary context, but not be the object of the story.
5. J. Donaldson. “Charlie Cook's favorite book,” “The Gruffalo.” And all the rest.
6. M. Bond. All books about Paddington Bear.
7. E. Boyarskikh. "Hey, he's becoming an adult."

2. Classic fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm, Charles Perrault, Hans Christian Andersen.
3. Tales of Korney Chukovsky.

Because, on the one hand, it is close to a fairy tale, and on the other hand, to a story, that is, a small genre ideal for a child younger age. Being as close as possible to the oral form, the tale perfectly conveys the features of the author’s speech and teaches us to perceive individual style storyteller and form your own.
6. Alexey Tolstoy. "The Golden Key, or the Adventures of Pinocchio."
7. Alexander Volkov. "The Wizard of Oz".
8. Nikolay Nosov. “Dunno and His Friends”, “Dunno in the Sunny City”, stories.
