A little about Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky
Korney Chukovsky is a Russian poet, children’s writer, translator, and journalist. At the moment, he is considered the most published children’s writer in Russia.
Chukovsky’s poems and tales teach children good
His youth and maturity, Chukovsky was engaged in journalism and literary criticism, and came to children’s creativity only in 1916, when he released his first collection of nursery rhymes. In the same year, the world saw his first fairy tale “Crocodile”, and a few years later the fairy tales “Moidodyr” and “Cockroach” appeared.
In parallel with this, the writer studied child psychology and speech. Based on his observations, he published a book for parents “2 to 5”. Chukovsky also released a Bible for children adapted to the principles of the Soviet Union.
In each fairy tale, the author laid the idea that he wanted to convey to the little reader. Here are just a few examples:
- Fly Tsokotukha. Love for others, mutual assistance and support. The child understands how important it is to come to the aid of those who are in trouble.
- Moidodyr. The importance of hygiene for the baby.
- Aibolit. Love for people and animals, friendship, understanding, support, help.
Read the fairy tales of Korney Ivanovich with the kid and try to figure out together what exactly the author wanted to say to each of them.
What do Chukovsky’s tales teach
