Delirium Propaganda

From 1967 we have an international holiday of children’s book, which was found as a realization of the desire to render homage of one of the best educational instruments. So, the second of April is the International day of children’s book.

Do you keep in mind your children’s books? They were sources of amusement and funds of wisdom with optimistic illustrations, this was a magic world peopled by your favourite figures. We examined pictures, listened to fairy tales before going to bed. There were Alan Alexander Milne, Rudyard Kipling and Arthur Conan Doyle, Astrid Lindgren and Selma Lagerlof, Lewis Carroll and Robert Lewis Stevenson. We need several pages, if we want to enumerate names of our favourite writers!

But there were times when we had no conceptualization of «children’s literature»! During a very long period of time children were content with legends. Contents of them were not the best spiritual bread for impressionable children’s souls, but adult people couldn’t care less about this.

Hans Christian Andersen begun a new epoch in literature for children with such tales as “The snow queen”, “The ugly duckling”, and “The little match girl”. That?s why the day of his birthday become the International fête of children’s book.

The nineteenth century gave children such treasures as “The adventures of Tom Sawyer” and “The adventures of Huckleberry Finn”, which are written by Mark Twain, such excellent book of Daniel Defoe as ?Robinson Crusoe? in which all children were absorbed (even adults became engrossed in reading!).

The twentieth and the twenty-first centuries gave a surprising discovery: children don?t take books with awe and stop to read. The cause is clear: television and Internet have changed their lives. Children should not waste efforts and time, they should only keep their eyes wide open, sitting in front of a computer. But you should help your children to love reading, because it develops imagination and skills of creative thinking, helps to improve vocabulary and speech habits, develops even temper, forms the so-called ?inborn grammatical correctness?, promotes intellectual development, and forms the habit to take the book as a source of knowledge, information and pleasure.

Even if you are not a book?s fan and on the contrary are a very pragmatic person, you should agree with the fact that a “reading” person has much more chances to get many dividends from good education to prestigious work.

And it is necessary to train everyone to read books since the earliest childhood!
