15 fairy tales for children - Parents.ru
Entertainment
Brothers Grimm. Fairy tales. Series: Books illustrated by John Patience. Publishing house Rosman.
Never, never read fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm to children in an unadapted form! Unless, of course, you want to bring the kids to nervous stuttering. Because the unadapted tales of these German storytellers look more like modern horror films. But, adapted - a completely different matter! Light, with a good ending, life-affirming. Like in this book. This beautifully illustrated collection contains the most famous fairy tales for the very first acquaintance with the work of the storytelling brothers: Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Hansel and Gretel, Pied Piper of Hamelin. Wonderfully convey the magical atmosphere created by Grimm, and allow you to immerse yourself in its bright side, magnificent - and, according to experts in general, the best illustrations for their fairy tales - John Patience.
The British writer and artist specializes in the design of books for the youngest readers, who, in fact, still cannot read, and the pictures for which should not only be highly artistic, but also intelligible. And, since books with his drawings are successful all over the world, I must say that he succeeded in this.
Joel Harris. Tales of Uncle Remus. Publishing house Rosman.
Do you know who this Uncle Remus is? An old black friend of the author in childhood, who told little Joel all these tales. And when Joel grew up, he collected everything he remembered, inventing two connecting tales of the main characters: Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox. Fairy tales have been published and republished, read and loved by more than one generation of children in different countries of the world. The images of the main characters are by no means unambiguous, to be honest. The crafty brothers are worth each other not only in ingenuity, but also in the ability to quite harshly, and sometimes cruelly, set up and punish the enemy.
Those are interesting! The book is recommended for children from 6 years old, not earlier, little ones may not understand it.
Andrey Maksimov. Daddy's tales. Peter Publishing.
“Well, what is it, really,” thought the Door and nervously creaked. - The work is harmful: all the time in a draft. Who is not too lazy to kick with their feet. Already covered in abrasions, every board aches. In addition, no creativity: open - close, that's all for you. And in general…»
Boredom, Nightmare, Puzya dwarf, Snowflake, as well as the Door, Cactus, Clock, Words – all these are the heroes of fairy tales written by dad specifically for other dads to read to their children. And dad is not simple, but even very famous - TV presenter and writer Andrei Maximov. It must be admitted that his tales are unusual, some a little sad, but interesting and instructive. And then to say who better than dad can write suitable stories for dads!
J.K. Rowling. Harry Potter And The Chamber of secrets.
Machaon Publishing.
One can only envy those who discover this book for the first time. Oh, what thrilling adventures, what enviable friends await them here! How many new emotions young readers will have to experience together with the characters of one of the most popular (and deservedly!) books of our time. How many children, drawn into a fascinating story, began their long journey as a Reader of books precisely with Harry Potter. For this book alone, a monument should be erected. Now it is in a new edition (a little heavy, but nothing!), with very interesting pictures, and in a new translation. This, by the way, is a reason to look into it again for those who read the previous one.
Riner R. The Adventures of Charlie the Goat. Publishing house IP Veshkina O.V.
Is it possible to multiply the pleasure of reading and looking at pictures? Yes! The smell of the forest, the aroma of the field and flowers. And, keep in mind, all this is of real Swiss quality.
Children's book, which is pleasant not only to read, but also to smell, was published in Russia. It is worth rubbing the pages and suddenly, as if you are transported to the Alps, in reality you smell the smells of lavender, roses, lemon, and also green meadows, ripe apples, spruce forests, strawberries and fragrant mint ... The kid will love the kind story about the little goat Charlie, about finding himself and that even weaknesses can be turned into strengths.
Fragrant reading awaits you with this book!
White E.B. Stuart Little. Azbuka publishing house.
One day an ordinary boy George from an ordinary American family asked his mom and dad to adopt a brother for him. Little brother! Parents adopted. True, indeed, a very small brother. It turned out to be ... a mouse!
Even if you have already watched the famous film about the resilient, wise, kind, brave, besides a real gentleman Stuart Little, you should read the original source about him.
The book was reprinted many times in different countries and filmed, and was written back in 1945 year. Here, it turns out, even when the first bricks of tolerance for those unlike us were laid!
Nikolskaya A. Marta and the fantastic airship. Publishing house ROSMEN.
“No, what is it? Julia asked with a challenge. It was unpleasant for her that a practically unknown person was asking Martha such impolite questions. - And in general it does not matter at all - who are you, what are you? For example, I am a sheep, Taras is a ram, you are people. Meanwhile, we eat gingerbread from the same bowl. ”
And such a statement of the question is absolutely legitimate, because even she herself does not know who, for example, the main character of this book is. Yes, however, and not too bother with this issue. Moreover, she has no time - there are so many interesting things around, and only when the adventures begin! Martha, a cute but strange furry creature that can take on different forms, along with her also not quite ordinary friends, goes on a trip on an airship.
And this is perhaps the least fantastic incident in the book. They will visit the USA, Australia. And there it will happen to them! .. But no, Anna Nikolskaya wrote a book too interesting to retell it in a nutshell. Read to children, let them read by themselves from the age of seven, and look at the wonderful, wonderful illustrations together!
Little Red Riding Hood. Series Living fairy tale. Publishing house MOSAIC-SYNTHESIS.
The story about the adventures of a girl named Little Red Riding Hood will certainly be very interesting for young readers, but this is not the main thing in the book from this series. Wheels, windows, flaps and other moving elements on thick pages are designed to make the book come alive, but it will never be able to come to life without the help of kids. The publication is perfect as a simulator for the development of fine motor skills and acquaintance with the world of fairy tales. Thanks to the interactivity of the book, the child will not only listen to the story of the confrontation between the girl and the wolf, but will also be able to participate in the story himself.
Spielman K. A series of fairy tales for emotional intelligence. When I'm angry. Peter Publishing.
The topic of emotional intelligence, which is fashionable today, has become relevant, probably, from the moment when people began to understand that they lacked something very important and human. It turned out emotions. It’s not that there are fewer of them ... But people began to hide their own feelings so carefully that, as a result, they forgot how to understand others. However, emotional intelligence and its upbringing is a topic too serious to talk about it to a non-specialist. Specialists write fairy tales that help children discover their emotions, learn to understand them and cope with them. And having started to develop something from a young age, as you know, it is much easier to achieve excellent results. In this book, a child, using the examples of animals, learns to cope with his experiences, among which there are, for example, envy, fear, anger, and others.
Lada J. Naughty tales. Publishing house Labyrinth Press.
“Look, what a dodger! You don't know fairy tales well! Where is it heard that the stolen princess herself returned home like a lost goose? No, you'll have to wait until someone releases me."
These really mischievous tales mix times, plots and heroes. Dragons singing to the guitar, Lucifer talking on the phone, princesses driving cars and saving young men. And, of course, the humor and national Czech flavor that permeate everything in the book - and the content and illustrations that complement the text so well.
Ber A. Endres, son of a merchant. Publishing house Walking into history.
Oh, if the time machine actually existed, how easy and interesting it would be to study history! One could simply be transported to a medieval city, meet a boy of the same age there, make friends with him and learn everything, so to speak, firsthand. There is no time machine, but there is this book and it is just about an ordinary boy, the same as young readers who have a friend and secrets and problems common to other boys.
Only he lives in the Middle Ages. Well, why not a time machine?
Beskov E. Elsa Beskov's Magical Worlds series. The princess and the apple tree Azbuka publishing house.
Elsa Beskov in Sweden is compared to Astrid Lindgren herself, and in the world they call the Scandinavian Beatrice Potter. But she didn't just write stories. Firstly, Beskov created some of her works in verse, and secondly - and this is the most important thing! She illustrated them herself. So much so that her drawings, new techniques from which many other artists took, became classics of children's illustration. Beskov wrote a lot of children's books, but only relatively recently they began to appear in our country in the form in which the writer intended - with her illustrations. "The Princess and the Apple Tree" is among the first such books to have in the children's home library in every cultural home.
Wilde M. Bogtrotter. Polyandria Publishing House.
Despite his original appearance, he behaves like a small child.
You know, they took this guy to the playground, and he, out of shyness and because he doesn’t know how to behave, just runs and runs around it in circles. Or the grown-up Mowgli, who toils in anticipation... In anticipation of what? Growing up? Spring? Love? In this wonderful and not as simple as it seems at first glance book, different adventures do not happen to the hero, but he himself changes, his attitude to the world. And why, why, why is this happening - a topic for a very interesting conversation with a child. After all, there are no answers to these questions in the book. And the ending is open.
Fairy tales of the Karakum desert. Publishing house Ripol classic.
“Suddenly the old man heard someone calling him:
- Hey, ata-jan, dear father! If you don't have a son, then take me as your son!
The old man was surprised. He stopped the donkey and began to look under his feet, but on the road he saw only dry bushes of camel's thorn.
But the voice came again:
- If you want to see an eagle, don't look at the ground."
Fairy tales are one of the most wonderful ways to learn about another people, because it is not for nothing that they say that a fairy tale is the soul of a people. Turkmen fairy tales, like all fairy tales of different peoples, are similar in some ways, very original in some ways. This originality is further emphasized by illustrations that allow readers not only to feel the spirit of the hot Karakum, learn about the customs of this ancient and wise people, but also see the local landscapes and national clothes of the Turkmens.
Berner S.B. "Fairy tales-comics". Publishing house "Melik-Pashayev".
A minimum of words and a maximum of detailed pictures with an abundance of the smallest details - this is how the writer and illustrator Rotrout Susanne Berner has been working for many years, for her contribution to children's literature, she was awarded many awards, and in 2016 - the Hans Christian Andersen Prize.
And this, by the way, is the most honorable international award in the field of children's books. Many parents and children are already, of course, familiar with her work and will be pleased with the release of this book. And those who take the publication in their hands for the first time will certainly appreciate the witty and modern approach to presenting book material to children. Even if the child does not like to read too much - bye! - he will not give up fairy tales, where the main role is played by pictures. And what else - do not come off! But there are also words, and, hopefully, they will drag on and never let go, and in our ancient world there will be one more lucky reader.

Fairy tales for children are one of the very first literary works that young readers get acquainted with. The roots of these stories go far into antiquity, but they do not lose their relevance today. Children believe in magic, in reincarnation, in the victory of good over evil, in the existence of good wizards, and it is children's fairy tales that give rise to this belief - pure, naive, bright, at the same time instructive and educating. Most often, animals are the main characters, so popular works also instill love for our smaller brothers.
The site mishka-knizhka.ru contains a fabulous collection - a real magical wealth for the children of domestic and foreign authors, Russian folk tales and tales of the peoples of the world, illustrated and printed without abbreviations.
Through such works, kids get to know the world and learn to distinguish good from bad, highlight the positive and negative qualities of a person, form their correct position in life. They learn the rules of conduct, the way of life of their own and other countries. The benefits of a children's fairy tale can hardly be overestimated, and the huge variety and popularity is a direct confirmation of this. The whole section is completely at your service, so you won’t have to look for a long time what to read with your child. A convenient online format will allow you to use the site, read with your child anytime and anywhere, even if you are in transport or waiting in line. Spend time with benefit, plunging into the world of unique reincarnations.
Reading is an important stage of learning. At an early age, children can listen to adults and look at illustrations, imagining unprecedented colorful pictures, empathizing with the characters, trying to find clues, draw logical chains and draw conclusions.
