Friendship of small and good
I have long been wondering what secret the Scandinavians know that no matter what they undertake, everything turns out great. For example, children's literature - no matter what the work is, it is of the highest standard! And Nils, and...

By heart!
“I wanted to do something…” “Why did I come here, what did I need here?” “I forgot something and I don’t remember what.” Probably everyone is familiar with such lapses in memory. Moreover, the further you go, the more often...
What to give to the child who has everything?
How often does this happen - you receive an invitation to a birthday party and don’t know what to give. Modern children have everything, and modern parents’ eyes begin to twitch when, after the next holiday, a mountain of plastic...
Why are books about Findus so good?
Sven Nordqvist creates his works entirely himself, both illustrations and text. This is not a unique phenomenon in children's literature. Tove Jansson, Susanne Rotraut Berner, Antoine de Saint Exupery painted illustrations with which the heroes of their fairy tales are...
Reduced prices on the site!
The prices for books in our store have two main components: the purchase price from the publisher and the cost of transportation. And the heavier the book, the more expensive the shipping cost, often more expensive than the book itself....
Tili-tili dough!
One of my most unpleasant memories from childhood is a vague feeling that it is better to keep my distance from boys. No, there were a lot of normal guys around, with whom it was fun to play, there were...
On a pear tree looking for sushi
There are books that everyone likes: children, parents, boys, girls, kids, and big kids. “The Incredible Story of the Giant Pear” is one of them, which is not surprising: the author is Jacob Strid - a Dane, heir to the...
Four ideas for a children's party
In our family, children's birthdays were celebrated on the same scale as adults: with a bunch of guests, a full-fledged festive table, gatherings until late; and plus, unlike adults who simply ate, drank, sang and danced, there was a holiday...
Lyricists and physicists
“If you want your children to be smart, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be even smarter, read them more fairy tales,” said Albert Einstein. But how to read if the child does not listen?  Einstein would hardly...
Fairy tales travel around the world
I really love “The Wizard of the Emerald City”, I love the whole series dearly, for me this is a real magical land from childhood. And every time I feel almost personally offended when I hear about plagiarism: Volkov allegedly...
Holidays at the dacha
“On the Island of Saltkrok” is not the most famous novel by Astrid Lindgren, there are no dizzying adventures or mischief in it, as in “Pippi” and “Emil”, you will not laugh at it like at Carlson, not much happens...

We already remembered what we played in childhood, but those were word games, and now let’s go back to the courtyards of the example of thirty years (a nightmare!) ago... With sports and role-playing games, everything is clear: dodgeball, badminton,...

It happens to you, you see a book, and immediately memories come flooding back, and childhood, and grandma, and the smell of pancakes in the morning. Well, that’s how it is for me, but you, perhaps, have a dacha, and...
Walking games
As a child, my mother and I didn’t have heart-to-heart conversations about the eternal, we didn’t discuss world problems, my mother didn’t tell me how things worked, she didn’t read long lectures (if she scolded, it was short and succinct),...
Speech in defense of comics
Many people, I know, are wary of comics. At first I also tensed, but then I tensed again and remembered how I accidentally got some comic book about Donald Duck as a child, and how I was stuck on it...
Academic boredom vs. enthusiasm and fun
