Children’s fairy tales. Poems and prose

There is such a profession - a children's writer. And this profession is especially important, because a child is like a blank sheet of paper. What parents put in him, so he will see the world. Parents are far from always able to completely control the flow of information consumed by their child for various reasons.

Tell me what a person in his right mind and sober memory will do if his child gets such a little book with “rhymes”:

He hasn't washed for fifteen years, And he did not cut his hair, and did not shave, And I didn't wash my clothes, I didn't even wipe my nose.

When she comes to Yaga, she gasps:

FOO-YOU!..

Smells like a Russian perfume!

The author of these lines is a certain Andrei Alekseevich Usachev (the "work" was printed in the book "The ABC of Baba Yaga").

Raise Russophobia from the cradle? It's so Western.

So it is highlighted in the book. The illustration is appropriate: the one that "smells of the Russian spirit" looks like a homeless person, moving on all fours. Even Baba-Yaga is disgusting. It stinks, as we understand it so that the mice and the cat scatter in horror, and one mouse is completely stinked …

An interesting idea of the Russians will be laid in children's heads! Both Russian children themselves and children who are not ethnic Russians, but live in Russia and abroad, considering Russian as one of their native languages. Pure sabotage

If a person is Russophobic, then sooner or later it will come out of him. Here's how from Usachev.

Of course, we can say that this is humor, but you, they say, bast shoes, do not understand anything. But why, on various parenting forums on the Internet, parents also “do not understand anything” and believe that many of Usachev's poems are terrible and harmful from the point of view of morality, which can be traced in them, or rather, is absent!

We read his next rhyme:

As one of the mothers wrote on the parent forum: “After such poems, children should become convinced of the“childfree”!

The people are outraged: how can such a thing be printed in children's books, and who publishes all this ?! And the traitor Suvorov-Rezun is not published ?! Publish! And not only in Russia. And not only that, but worse

When I showed the Usachev poem to my son, he stunned me that they had it in the literature textbook "Country of Readers". I looked. Exactly. Only "fuck" was replaced by a more modest "chick". By the way, my son did not like the verse. Like the one next to it, on the next page, is another "masterpiece" by Usachev:

How do you like that, comrade parents? And you still scold your daughters. Do you see what they write in the books? Why ruin your beauty, study, sweat … Who will then marry? And so - we will spend our puberty at school, we will stay a little longer, and then we will find some daddy!

The author of this "Country of Readers" - an experimental textbook on literature for five-graders, approved by the Ministry of Education of Latvia back in 2003 - a certain Olga FILINA (most likely a pseudonym!). At the end of these poems, she invites schoolchildren to compare Koshchei and Vasilisa from Usachev's poems with characters from folk tales, using a comparative description scheme. What a serious approach! Like, don't believe your eyes. This is humor now. But just in case, the author of the textbook asks the students: “Do you think these poems are instructive? Why?" (Ms. Filina, however, does not leave a choice for five-graders). And again: "How do you imagine the poet, having read his poems?"

Shocking fairy tales for children

“Today my wife and I decided to read fairy tales to the baby (girl 1 year and 4 months). There are a lot of books at home. and some are still on the shelf and await their fate. Here is one of these "novelties" and was tested today. Beautiful pictures, hardcover. But what was inside my wife and I not only surprised, but really shocked. One had only to start reading …

The first fairy tale "Bunny and Little Wolf" has already promised by its name alone to immerse us in the fabulous world of small and kind forest dwellers who know how to be friends even though they belong to different species. Moreover, in real life they are real enemies to each other.

Aha, we are naive, right now! The author, as it turned out, had a completely different idea.

Read this fairy tale in pictures, what does it call for?

Tear it apart ??? Please note, the book is called "Fairy Tales for Babies." Does the author have children at all? Does he know (understand) who the kids are and what a fairy tale is? Where does so much hatred come from?

Excerpt from Federal Law No. 436-FZ

“On protecting children from information that is harmful to their health and development”?

Chapter 2. Classification of information products

Article 7. Information products for children under the age of six

Information products for children under the age of six may include information products containing information that does not harm the health and (or) development of children (including information products containing episodic non-naturalistic images justified by its genre and (or) plot or a description of physical and (or) mental violence (with the exception of sexual violence), provided that good triumphs over evil and expresses compassion for the victim of violence and (or) condemnation of violence).

Has anyone seen the triumph of good over evil in this tale? Maybe the one I missed the condemnation of violence? Expressions of compassion for the victim? Personally, I saw only a call. A loud, concrete call to the child to tear apart all those who are not like him, or for some reason he is not at all pleasing at the moment.

Go ahead…

The second tale that I want to show you is "How the Fox sewed a fur coat for the Wolf". The essence of the tale was at a glance: since the Fox is present - wait for cunning and do not wait, Wolf, fur coats. In fact, this is exactly what happened, but not as bloody!

I can already imagine the eyes and the open mouth of those "kids" whom caring parents will read this tale to the end.

The wolf in the fairy tale literally cuts the sheep, and then (at the behest of the fox !!!) wants to slaughter the horse! Anything that encourages you to commit a crime? The hell with her, let her say to him "Go cut off the horse's tail" or something. But "You cut her …" !!! And this should I read to my child ?! So I cited an excerpt from the law about children FROM 6 YEARS OLD!

Excerpt from Federal Law No. 436-FZ

“On protecting children from information that is harmful to their health and development”?

Chapter 2. Classification of information products

Article 8. Information products for children who have reached the age of six

Information products for children who have reached the age of six years old can be classified as information products provided for in Article 7 of this Federal Law, as well as information products that contain justified by their genre and (or) plot:

1) short-term and non-naturalistic images or descriptions of human diseases (with the exception of serious diseases) and (or) their consequences in a form that does not humiliate human dignity;

2) non-naturalistic depiction or description of an accident, accident, catastrophe or non-violent death without demonstrating their consequences, which may cause fear, horror or panic in children;

3) episodic images or descriptions of these actions and (or) crimes that do not encourage the commission of antisocial actions and (or) crimes, provided that their admissibility is not substantiated or justified and a negative, condemning attitude towards the persons committing them is expressed.

Go ahead…

The last of the fairy tales seemed mysterious to me from the very beginning. Agree, the name "Hares and Frogs" says absolutely nothing. The only association that I had before reading the fairy tale itself is that both animals are jumping. But not more. Looking at the picture that you see below, you get the feeling that hares want to learn how to swim like frogs can do, but the author again decided to surprise the reader and once again he did it very well.

Here I didn’t trace anything. The whole tale is one large and eloquent monument to insanity and idiocy.

A clear, loud and, thanks to the picture, a clear call to suicide! Moreover, to the mass.

After reading such a masterpiece, one desire arises - to wait for the full moon, go out to the crossroads and solemnly burn this book along with the names of the authors who did everything possible and impossible (since the editor let it go to print) so that our children grow up "smart", " kind "," cheerful "and" loving "both us (their parents) and the world that surrounds them.

Who will grow out of our children reading SUCH literature ?!
