Alexander Alexandrovich Shibaev (1923 - 1979), a native of Volkhov, shared the fate of his generation: he fought on the Leningrad front, was seriously wounded, struggled with illnesses for many years ... And composed cheerful, joyful children's poems. Two of his "thick" books - "Join hands, friends" (1977) and "Native language, be friends with me" (1981) - in their meaning and artistic value will outweigh the numerous reprints of some of the current replicated poets. These two books turned out to be “many heavier volumes,” as one great Russian poet of the 19th century said about another. There were also thin books, publications in periodicals, in various collections and anthologies, so that Shibaev's poems reached the addressee, that is, children, and this is the main thing. A man of rare modesty and delicacy, according to the testimony of people who knew him well, the poet did not strive to be in the public eye, he simply did his favorite thing very well, without betraying his talent.
But things never came to the recognition of Shibaev as a classic, a poet of the first magnitude, which is the greatest injustice and an indicator of the extreme limitations of writers and teachers. Understanding people - for example, the poet Mikhail Yasnov, an unconditional connoisseur and subtle propagandist of real poetry - give Shibaev an honorable place in children's poetry of the last century. Shibaev's originality and skill are obvious, although he worked in the genre of play poetry, where only a person with a truly remarkable talent can invent something new. Especially in such poetry, which "plays" with the native language. For children, Shibaev’s poems are a balm for the soul, because he does not hide the fact that it is difficult to master the richness of the Russian language, it’s like finding a treasure, that you need to feel the language (and for this you need to be able to feel at all!), but this is not hopeless. His poetry is a rare kind of creativity, when an absolutely frivolous, “humorous” thing gives a serious, vital result: the child begins to understand the beauty of his native language, treat it like a living being, love it and take care of it. Every teacher and every student should take into account the verses, tongue twisters, all sorts of confusions and turnarounds invented by Shibaev, and then the native language will fulfill one of its most important functions - others will begin to understand you. And I will not expand on the immense pleasure from Shibaev’s poetic and linguistic discoveries, which today’s native speakers define as “high”, leaving the readers themselves to become the discoverers and lifelong friends of the poet.

Alexander Alexandrovich Shibaev (1923-1979) did not enter, as they used to say, “into the cage”, into the front row of post-war children's poetry. A Leningrader, not a Muscovite, a modest, homely, and not public person, he did not pretend to be a literary star. Fifteen books for children published during his lifetime; the final, as it turned out, book "Friends Joined Hands" (1977) and another large book, which appeared posthumously, "Native Language, Be Friends with Me" (1981), which he finished writing in a hospital bed - that's, in fact, all of his literary heritage.
In the second half of the 60s, in the 70s, when our poetry for the little ones was often limited to describing children's life or was led by "drum" optimism, Shibaev turned to the foundations of culture - to the language as such, its laws, its wealth. He began to consistently teach children his native, ordinary speech through poetic speech. He poeticized school grammar and for each lesson he found an accurate, informative, entertaining move, revealing in poetry both the magic of the language and at the same time the teaching methodology. Riddles, tongue twisters, shifters, small plot stories about sounds, letters, words and punctuation marks - Shibaev went further in this game than many: perhaps for the first time such a vast area of practical language came into the field of view of a children's poet.
Are you reading?..
- I'm reading.
Not bad so far...
- Come on, read this word.
- I'll read it now.
YOU-E-LY-KY-A.
- And what happened?
- COW!
Who in childhood did not have to, quickly repeating a particular word, “peel” out of its sounds another one similar in sound to it? Shibaev brings this game to poetic perfection, pushing the reader to search for such "double" words, revealing their internal connections:
Animal, animal, where are you running?
What's your name baby?
- I run into the reeds, reeds, reeds,
I am a mouse-mouse-mouse.
On the euphonic side of the language, Shibaev paid particular attention. This is understandable: the comprehension of speech begins with a sound, a single sound, a single letter often becomes the main difference between words that are completely alien to each other. The poet emphasizes this difference gaily and witty:
The letter "D" at the bottom of the pond
Found crabs.
Since then, they've been in trouble.
That's the thing Draki.
Passing from sound to word, Shibaev demonstrates here the accuracy of the eye and the sharpness of hearing. Then he makes you listen to the words themselves, revealing the meaning in their sound:
He speaks of hard stone
And the word is solid GRANITE.
And for things that are softer than all,
Words - softer:
DOWN, MOSS, FUR.
That, starting from the meaning - through sound - shows the amazing versatility, unexpectedness of native speech:
I walked across the lawn.
I look - ADMIRAL ...
I quietly crept up to him
And - caught!
Caught!
Finally caught the admiral!..
rich
Butterfly collection
Became!
Twin words and punctuation marks, syllables and prepositions, reading rules and cultural speech skills - everything becomes an object of attention. And in poems devoted to more complex laws of language, Shibaev is always looking for a way to stir up a student of his poetic school, make him answer the question correctly, or even give himself a well-deserved mark:
We are studying transfer.
This is how I translated the words.
"Barely" I suffered "e-two"
And he got two for it.
"Injection" I suffered "u-kol"
And he got a "count" for it.
“Again” I moved “o-five”.
Now, I hope it will be "five"?!
These lines are good because they play rhyming expectation: after reading the word, the reader already guesses what rating the hero deserves, and, laughing, can easily restore the correct spelling when transferring.
Of course, the poetry of Alexander Shibaev became a direct development of an already existing tradition. This is the school of Marshak and the work of its creator. These are shifters and riddles of Kharms. These are associative links with contemporaries - Boris Zakhoder, Genrikh Sapgir, Vadim Levin. In this series, Shibaev's place is weighty and original: having made language the main character of poetry, he showed that the game - when it exists not for the sake of simple fun, but for the sake of teaching and comprehending culture - is highly necessary for children's poetry.
"Entertaining alphabet" by A. Shibaev, published today in "Makhaon", represents the poet's work in full and purposefully. Purposeful - because it really is, as indicated on the cover, real lessons in reading and literate speech. And full-blooded, because in addition to a lot of poetic (and prose, and - additionally - playful) material, the book presents Alexander Shibaev as a brilliant poet, for whom pedagogy is only a special form of transferring to the reader all the wealth of his inner poetic world.

Alan Alexander Milne
(1882 – 1956)
Born in 1882 in London. His father was the head of a small private school, where he studied. After graduating from the University of Cambridge, where he studied mathematics, Milne began working as a journalist. At twenty-four, he became deputy editor of the well-known humor magazine Punch, and published his essays there weekly.
But the true world fame (unexpectedly for himself) brought Milne books for children.
Milne started with poetry, because according to Winnie the Pooh, you do not find poetry, but she finds you. Written as a joke and published at the urging of his wife, the children's poem soon became very popular. The first book of poems also had a great resonance. And the famous Winnie the Pooh saga made Milne a classic.
His books: “When We Were Little” (1924; collection of poems), “Now We Are Six” (1927), “Winnie the Pooh” (1926) and “The House at the Pooh Edge” (1928; Russian retelling by B. Zakhoder under the title "Winnie the Pooh and all-all-all", 1960).

The poet's talent manifested itself most clearly in merry verses. Yes, and how not to smile in a poem where, reading the confession of a great sufferer, who is ready to endure any torment for the sake of buying a bullfinch:
What have I tried!
I didn't fight girls...
When I see a girl
I will shake my fist at her.
And I'm going to the side
It's like I don't know her.
Many poems are named after children.

Agniya Barto had time always and everywhere. She wrote poems, plays, film scripts. She translated. She met with readers in schools, kindergartens, boarding schools, libraries.
Agnia has always been interested in raising children. She went to orphanages, schools, talked a lot with the kids. Traveling around different countries, I came to the conclusion that a child of any nationality has a rich inner world. Barto's poems have been translated into many languages of the world.

Elena Aleksandrovna Blaginina
(1903 – 1989)
Elena Blaginina was born on May 27, 1903. Elena is the baggage clerk's daughter, the priest's granddaughter. She was going to be a teacher. Every day, in any weather, in home-made shoes with rope soles (it was a difficult time: the twenties), she walked seven kilometers from home to the Kursk Pedagogical Institute. But the desire to write was stronger.
Elena Aleksandrovna came to children's literature in the early 1930s. It was then that a new name appeared on the pages of the Murzilka magazine - E. Blaginina. Everyone loved her and her poems - lovely poems about what is close and dear to children: about the wind, about the rain, about the rainbow, about birches, about apples, about the garden and the garden and, of course, about the children themselves, about their joys and grief.
Elena Alexandrovna lived a long life and worked constantly. She wrote poems sparkling with humor, "teasers", "counters", "patters", songs, fairy tales.
Elena Alexandrovna dedicated a lot of poems to her mother. Mom is the most important word in the life of every person. In her poems, Blaginina taught kids to love, respect, appreciate, cherish and reverently treat the most important person for them.
Mom sang a song
Mom dressed the girl
Red dress with polka dots
New shoes on legs...
That's how mom pleased -
Dressed up my daughter for May.
That's what mom -
Golden right!
The poetess tried to choose words that were understandable to every child, and topics that were interesting to all kids. Her poetry is pure and naive. It draws readers' attention to the vision of miracles that fill ordinary life.
What juices fermented in it,
To help this miracle?
Or the winds woke him up
All day yesterday and all night?
Children have always received the poetess superbly and adored her poems. The characters of Blaginin's poems - wind, rain, apples, rainbows, a garden, birches - are close and dear to children. In poetry they could recognize themselves, their joys and experiences.
Elena Blaginina died in 1989.
