Strange people - authors writing for children.In any case unusual.Let us remember the great Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen.Coming from a poor family, he always claimed to be a personal friend of the Danish King Frederick.You never know what stories you'd expect from this amazing storyteller!However, the words of the great Dane subsequently confirmed.
However, this article is not about him.The family of the Soviet children's poet Andrei Alekseevich Usachev was common legend that his grandfather was a sign of Nadezhda Krupskaya and once the will of fate met while still aspiring to power of Hitler.Does it mean that my grandfather was also a man Usachev unusual?
magic of children's poems
Nursery rhymes ... They remember everything.They leave a lasting imprint on the memory.Among them, "Clumsy Bear" written by Andrei Alekseyevich.Surprisingly harmonious, good and bright poetry.Easily understood and very well remembered.Even if you read them for the first time, you are still in a state of deja vu: it seems that they had already seen and read.And it creates the impression that these poems are familiar from childhood.However, it is - deceit memory.As he told Usachev, born in 1958, writing for children, he began in 1985 (again, the game numbers: 58 - 85).Accordingly, "Clumsy Bear" was written in the 80-ies of XX century.
Secret - in rhythm?
What is the secret of children's poetry?Why are these verses so freely and easily perceived and children up to three years, and adults, causing the last smile, and nostalgia for childhood sped away into the distance?Of course, the thing the author, in the spiritual world, in which he plunges his readers.Andrey turned to child-related issues under the influence of works by Daniil Kharms, found springs thaw in the era of stagnation ... Usachev, as he himself admitted in an interview given to the magazine "Read Together", are easy to verses.They intuitively direct his thought, because of its rhythm.(As an example, there is last in the poem "Clumsy Bear».)
about "creative kitchen" Usachev
Himself Usachev often called a swindler than a writer.Try to understand the mystery of his "creative cuisine".He has a secret: he always feels the child is not the differentiating its part with a "grown-up".That is a poet, picking up his pen does not write specifically for what some abstract, invented by children.He always wrote for himself - a tangible, measurable, understood, within which the child lives, lodging criteria for creativity.
Since ancient times in Russia has been a hero of fairy tales is the Bruin Bear, he's still one of the favorite toys for the smallest rebyatni.In fairy tales, the beasts of the forest has always stood sanguine and strong man, an exemplary family man and his young - teddy bears - cheerful, lively and comical.Papa Bear, in the folk tradition, styled Mikhailov Potapitch mother - Nastasya (the female style) and little son - Mishutka.That is the product of a bear cub in Usachev.
Sometimes, to create a special "fabulous" atmosphere in the house, we recommend that you are tired of a busy day, no, no yes and brush up on the complete poem, "Bruin Bear."Remember the childhood.Smile.Sometimes, that mood has risen, enough even to read at least the first verse.
wonderfully as a property of classical literature
nemudrenyh rhythm of the verse makes even adults forget about his "zabytovlennosti" and "zashtampovannosti" (we speak the words of Andrei Alekseyevich) and engage in child's play good, far from the "seamy side" of life.Poems are inherent elements of classic works.The plot: A walk in the woods Bears clumsy.The climax: mental anguish of the protagonist, ridiculed clumsiness of forest Mockingbird.The upshot: the acquisition of self-confidence from the good advice of parents.By the way, this view of the world and is inherent to classical literature.I recall the words of the American writer Louisa May Alcott that in the adult world of gray and boring sometimes there are events like the delightful tale, bringing consolation.Of course, one of these things is classical and children's literature, and, in particular, such poems."Bear Bruin" and others - these are the works that help children to be kinder, happier, more joyful.
Usachev on issues of contemporary children's literature
Usachev believes that currently there are problems with the proposed children literature.Not always texts that fall into the hands of children, really correspond to their age.In particular, in the segment of books for children.In the last century for them wrote wonderful poetry Sergei Mikhalkov, Roots Chukovsky, Agnes Barto, Boris Zakhoder.This galaxy of masters of the pen gave away many happy hours of children touching the good raising, exciting works.And now the children address their good works and vibrant Marina Moskvina, Tim Sobakin Ksenia Dragunskaya.(List the names of his contemporaries, Andrey, out of modesty, forgot to mention himself, the poet who wrote: "Bruin Bear goes through the woods ...».)
However, according to authoritative children's writers, contemporary Russian children's edition "Hammer""Cool", "Bully" is often lowers the bar of magic and the kindness that should be present in children's literature, especially for the little ones.Often, modern writers, creating works for children "about the real life," reduce their goodies with drug addicts and drug dealers.In such works feigned reality, it is clear there is false, the heroes of these books do not want to believe.Whether business - "Bruin Bear"!The author of "caught" memorable characters "grabbed" popular folk thread was able to tell the story of the bear nemudrenyh bright, interesting.
Conclusion
Recommended adult readers periodically refresh memory works for children, at least in order to get the charge kindness.Good children's literature helps to better understand children, because the world of childhood - it's not something contrived and Fancy, the world of childhood - this is our real world, seen only by the other "non-adult" perspective.
