Magazine about the New Year for children. Safe New Year! Recommendations for parents. "The Polar Express" by K.W. Allsburg

Hello everyone, I am writing the promised list of New Year and winter books for our children.

I'll start with books for ages 1-3 years.

1)I. Surikov "Childhood". For an excerpt from the well-known poem “Here is my village...” artist Mikhail Bychkov wrote absolutely incredible illustrations. They convey the atmosphere of a Russian village in winter so subtly that it seems that you can even feel the tingling of frost on your cheeks, and you can hear the howling of a blizzard outside the window. There is so much warmth, light and comfort in them. I already wrote about this book in a previous post, but I decided to remind you about it again, because it fits our topic perfectly.

For an adult, this book is nostalgic; reading it is as if you are immersing yourself in childhood, remembering something dear and long forgotten. For a child, this is a magical and very beautiful fairy tale with many amazing details, as well as an opportunity to get acquainted with peasant life.

2) Nick Butterworth “One Winter Night”

A book with a simple but very sweet story about the good watchman Uncle Willy. The plot is in many ways reminiscent of “Teremok”: poor frozen animals came on a cold winter night to the watchman, who did not refuse anyone a place to sleep and was ready to warm everyone under his blanket. Most of all, the book captivates with its cozy and very wintery mood: when the greatest pleasure is coming home from the cold and quickly warming up in the arms of those closest to you. The book can be started from 1.5 years old. Important point- paperback book.

3) Anu Stoner “Little Santa Claus”

The book will briefly tell the child who the Santa Clauses are and where they live (although some may be confused by the fact that there are many Santa Clauses here). But this is not the main thing.This story is not about an ordinary Santa Claus, but about a very small one. So small that he was not even allowed to engage in the main task of his life - giving gifts to children. However, every person, big or small, can find his own happiness and place in life, you just have to look around. This happened to little Santa Claus too. In other words, main idea The book is that any person is significant and useful in this world, regardless of his size, age, or financial situation.

4) Collection “Big New Year’s gift”

Advantages of this collection:

Firstly, these are as many as 500 pages of New Year's reading! Really New Year's, and not as often happens in manypseudo-winter books, where everything is collected, but not fairy tales about New Year and winter. Secondly, it is not so easy to find a collection for a two-year-old; basically all publications are designed for older children. And in this book, almost half of the content is quite understandable for a 2-year-old child, the rest can be read later (so the book is not for one year). And, thirdly, this, of course, is the excellent content of the book - all the most beloved writers of our childhood in excellent design.

The disadvantage - for me personally - is the price. There are almost 1000 Russians on the Labyrinth. rubles But for such a book you need to spare no expense!

One drawback is also written on the forums - due to its large size, weight and integral binding, the book can suffer very quickly, for example, due to a fall.

5) Tim Dowley “Christmas Night”

Ideal book to introduce a child to the holiday of Christmas. And not just an acquaintance, but a very exciting and interesting one. Here the main biblical events are briefly and clearly told to the child. In the book, on each page there are moving elements and opening windows that make the book very alive. You can knock with a hammer together with Joseph, rock the baby Jesus in Mary’s arms, open the window and see an angel appear. And on the last page you can also see a large three-dimensional nativity scene!

6) Book with patchwork inserts “Snow Maiden”

The well-known winter Russian folk tale. The book is suitable for children aged 1+ because the text is simplified.

7) “The Snow Maiden” with a longer text, and for older children, Rech publishing house

8)Russian folk tale “The Mitten” (illustrations by Luke Koopmans)

The plot is very simple and familiar to everyone. But main value the books are, of course, illustrations by Luke Koopmans. They are gentle and calm. It is very interesting to track how, as the plot develops, the mitten becomes larger and larger, and the autumn landscape turns into a winter one, overgrown with ever deeper snowdrifts.

9) Poems “What will happen in the New Year”

A very good collection of poems about the New Year and winter. There are Usachev, Barto, Cherny, Grigorieva. The illustrations are pleasant, very colorful, although they do not differ much in the variety of emotions on the faces of the characters.

10)A. Schmachtl “The Adventures of Julius Dandelion. Save the New Year"

The rabbit family is preparing for the New Year in full swing, but in the pre-holiday bustle everyone forgot about the most important thing - the New Year tree. Little rabbit Julius decides to save the New Year and go in search of the Christmas tree on his own. Having overcome all the difficulties, he, of course, copes with this difficult task, and the whole family celebrates the New Year next to a Christmas tree decorated with carrots and apples.

The delicate watercolor illustrations in the book are beyond praise. A good book to create a magical pre-holiday mood.

11) Nancy Walker Guy “The Best Gift for Christmas”

The narration here is calm and measured, there are few events taking place. But the topic of friendship is raised. A bear, a raccoon and a little hare went to visit their friend the badger, but on the way the wind took away all the gifts that the friends themselves had made for the badger. Naturally, this could not but upset the friends. However, the little badger, when meeting the guests, is not at all upset and pronounces very correct and important words that “Christmas with your best friends is the most wonderful gift.”

12) Rotraut Suzanne Berner “Winter Book” - the famous Wimmelbook. This book is very atmospheric: fluffy New Year's snow covers the streets, the characters rush to buy and decorate holiday trees, prepare gifts, skate, ski, and even Santa Claus himself appears in the city! There are an incredible amount of events and details in the book; it is simply not possible to review them at once. So watch and watch all December!

13)Yu. Kumykov "New Year's story"

Book-toy for 1+. Here the baby has the opportunity to learn lacing skills. The baby is asked to “lace” the mitten to the girl’s palm and do other interesting tasks, for example, tie a bag for Santa Claus. In addition, there is a very sweet, kind and understandable poem attached here.

14) Barto, Lagzdyn, Tokmakova “New Year. Poems-bookmarks"

A bright, beautiful book, suitable for ages 1+. In the book5 double-page spreads, 5 short poems with fairly large illustrations

15) Natalya Migunova " New Year's fairy tale»

A wonderful verse about how forest animals celebrated the New Year in the forest, decorated the Christmas tree and received gifts from Santa Claus, a good rhyme pleases. ABOUT The cover is thick white cardboard, the pages are white, compacted, smooth.Suitable for children 1+

16) Alf Preusen “Merry New Year”, publishing house Melik Pashayev. Illustrations by V. Suteev.

A short story-in-verse by the Norwegian author Alf Preusen.About how the family of mice prepared for the meeting, and finally celebrated the New Year!The story is in an excellent translation by Yuri Petrovich Vronsky. Many adults, I’m sure, will remember howAs a child, we celebrated the New Year with just such a book.

17) Raisa Kudashova “A Christmas tree was born in the forest” - Nigma publishing house.

There are five wonderful ones in the book. winter poems Raisa Adamovna Kudasheva - author of the unforgettable “A Christmas Tree Was Born in the Forest.”

The book is illustrated with gentle and airy drawings by Maria Sutyagina.

Books for children 3-5 years old:

1)B. Odoevsky "Moroz Ivanovich"

A fairy tale with an instructive plot, not at all boring, but kind and magical. Once upon a time there lived a lazy daughter and a hard-working one. Both of them, in turn, descend into the well and end up in the service of the “winter manager” (Moroz Ivanovich). And each of them eventually receives a corresponding reward for her work: the needlewoman - a bucket with silver spots, and the sloth - an ingot of mercury.

2) D. Donaldson "Chelovetkin"

This book is about how everything in nature is alive. And even an ordinary stick can have its own opinion, feelings and even family. The main character of Chelovetkin’s book took him everywhere: the dog played with him, the children threw him into the river, and the swan used him to build his nest. And in the end, Chelovetkin actually found himself among the firewood in the New Year’s fireplace. Being away from home, Chelovetkin dreamed of only one thing - to return to his stick family. He would have died ingloriously if he had not been saved by Santa Claus crawling through the fireplace. In other words, a very touching New Year's story.

3) I. Thai "Santa Claus"

The tale is very New Year's, very atmospheric. The plot is not hackneyed, and familiar characters are shown not only from the side we are used to. In addition to Father Frost, the Snow Maiden and the classic animals, there is a new interesting character, Egor-in-contrary. And the main disturber of public peace here is the Nightingale the Robber; he cannot come to terms with the fact that Santa Claus has taken the best Christmas tree in the forest. The book is divided into chapters, and therefore, if desired, you can read it in parts.

The disadvantage is that, in my opinion, the illustrations are not bright enough and large enough.

4)B. Zotov "New Year's Story"

The illustrations in the book are colorful, bright, with interesting details that you can look at with pleasure. The book has a good style, it is written in an accessible manner and is easy to read. In this “New Year's story”, Santa Claus, watching the children, chose for everyone the most suitable gifts that they had long dreamed of. But he left the boy Vitya, who behaved badly, did not listen and did not want to study, without a gift. The moral of the book is clear. But this model of education is not suitable for every family.

5) Sven Nordqvist “Christmas in Pettson’s house”

Sweet, kind New Year's story. The plot of the book is quite simple - before Christmas main character books Petson injured his leg, and therefore could not go to the forest for a Christmas tree or to the store for holiday treats. Petson had already come to terms with the fact that his holiday was ruined, but then the neighbors, having learned about his misfortune, began to come one by one, congratulating him on the holiday and presenting him with various delicious gifts. Thus, the holiday, which promised to be so dreary, turned into a cheerful celebration of Christmas, which Petson had never had before.

I also really like bright, warm illustrations with lots of details.

6)P. Bazhov "Silver Hoof"

The fairy tale “The Silver Hoof” is simply magical, it is about winter, about a miracle, about kindness and patience. Of course, for a modern child, some things in the text will be incomprehensible, some will have to be explained, some will have to be paraphrased. But in general, the plot is understandable and interesting for a three-year-old child. It seems to me that it is best to begin with this fairy tale to get acquainted with Bazhov’s work. Mikhail Bychkov's illustrations made the fairy tale even more magical and colorful, adding interesting details about the time and place where the events of the fairy tale take place. The disadvantage of the book is the layout. There are several spreads in the book without any text at all, which means you need to first read the text, and only then turn the page and look at the picture. In my opinion, this is very inconvenient for children's perception.

7)A. Usachev "Winter's Tale"

You definitely won't get bored reading this book. The poems are funny and funny. Olga Demidova’s illustrations are also not boring. Yes, they are not classic, perhaps not everyone will like the long-nosed and somewhat angular characters, but, in my opinion, the pictures perfectly complement the funny text and create a cheerful mood.

8) “New Year in reverse”

A wonderful thin collection from the Foma publishing house. Poems collected here are mainly modern authors, whose names were still unknown to me personally. But I was very pleased with the poems, they are touching and cozy, with humor and a truly winter atmosphere.

9) Ulrike Motshiunig “How the little fox celebrated the New Year”

The book is not just beautiful story about how a little fox stuck his nose out of his hole in winter and went looking for a holiday, but about what a holiday is for every living creature! For connoisseurs of magical illustrations.

It’s impossible to list all the books with New Year’s themes, their number is huge! I would be glad if you add any other favorite books in the comments. Thank you for your attention.

Safe New Year! Recommendations for parents

Safe New Year

New the year is an amazing time when wishes come true and miracles happen. The main thing is to make sure that for your kids the spell is not dissipated by problems that are not at all festive. Therefore, think about how to arrange safe celebrations.

IN holidays sometimes it is quite difficult to remember all kinds of "little things". But that’s why we are adults, to think about important things. This concerns security children during the long New Year holidays.

Parents you should be more careful.

Don't forget that there is general rules, which will come in handy Always: basics Fire protection has not been canceled.

You certainly know a lot about this. But it’s never a bad idea to learn something new, and even more important, to organize the information you know and create several algorithms for each specific situation.

Safe Christmas tree.

Well, what's a holiday without a Christmas tree? None! Some people can’t imagine the New Year without a real tree, while for others a fluffy artificial substitute is enough. But in both cases, quality is important.

Buy both in specially designated areas. Try to get as much information as possible regarding the source of income (or manufacturer) beauties

Check your artificial Christmas tree for fire safety safety. Ask permission to bring the lighter to the twigs, touch the twigs (they should not fall off, smell them) (any unpleasant synthetic smell is a bad sign) If you are not turned away from the product, there is hope that the tree is genuine. In addition, you must be presented with a sanitary-epidemiological examination report.

Do not place the Christmas tree near an open fire (fireplace, heater). Secure it (especially if there are small children or animals in the house).

Jewelry for a beauty. Fire protection safety.

Toys, garlands, tinsel... Decorations must have documentation that indicates that the products are made from environmentally friendly materials. In our country the requirements for them are the same as for children's toys. Therefore, feel free to ask for documents that confirm this.

There is a special conversation about garlands. They must have quality certificates. Please note which company the document was issued to. In addition, it must contain a link to the fire certificate.

Be sure to check for exposed wires or any damage to the product or packaging.

Never hang homemade garlands on your Christmas tree.

If children are small, it is better to get by with toys that do not break.

We hope that you understand that candles are not decoration... But why not remind us again? Even candles on the New Year's table, which will stand not far from the flammable beauty, are not a very good solution.

Proper use of pyrotechnics

Indoors you can indulge only in sparklers and firecrackers. Everything else is on the street, after studying the instructions in detail.

And the main points security(give it to the children to read):

· Do not carry firecrackers in your pockets!

· Don't throw it under your feet!

· Do not use fireworks in strong winds.

· Do not point at people.

· Do not use products that did not work the first time.

· When lighting the wick, do not lean over the box.

· After ignition, move away to the distance specified in the instructions.

In fact, a lot depends on your inner feeling. The holiday should be a holiday for everyone. The main thing is to think everything through so that The New Year was enjoyable and safe for everyone.

Happy New Year!

In the distant northern country- in Lapland, in the kingdom of ice and snow, there is a white palace. Cold beauty and eternal peace surround him. Once upon a time, the Snow Queen lived here, but evil destroyed her. Now Father Frost lives in her palace. He recently moved here from an old abandoned well. Hurricane winds hid all paths and roads to the palace. And only the Reindeer remembers how to find the palace, and delivers to the old Grandfather the letters that adults and children write to him.

On New Year's Eve, the deer was especially busy. Letters came from all over the world. Suddenly the weather began to deteriorate. A hurricane wind came and swirled in the whirlwinds of the blizzard. “It would be nice to wait until the morning,” the deer thought, but looking at the letter, he decided to immediately set off. The letter was extraordinary. It came along with a parcel from the guys from Siberia. They sent Santa Claus a gift.

The snow blinded his eyes, but the deer walked forward, sometimes drowning in snowdrifts, sometimes sliding along smooth ice. The deer's old enemy, the hungry wolf, also did not sleep that night. He had been waiting for his prey for a long time, hiding behind a huge snowdrift. With his mouth open and his eyes flashing, the wolf rushed at the deer. The unexpected attack caused the deer to drop the package. The wolf grabbed her and started running. The deer did not lag behind. Suddenly the ice began to crack underfoot. The chase was becoming dangerous. The ice cover became too thin, and then the deer decided to return home.

The hungry wolf opened the package and his mouth began to water. There were gingerbread cookies, cakes, rolls, berries and fruits. The wolf began to eat sweets. "Ugh, how disgusting!" - the wolf spat. He realized that all these “sweets” were made of plasticine and threw the parcel away.

In the morning the snowstorm calmed down. The sun has risen. Snow and ice shone dazzlingly in its rays. A friendly family of penguins noticed the package and they took it to the deer. A deer carried a package to Santa Claus in a whirlwind. Old Grandfather was very happy about the parcel. He carefully examined the children's handicrafts and rejoiced at their imagination. Santa Claus walked for a long time along the icy corridors of the palace and wondered: “Can children really make patterns better than me? I build ice palaces, draw ice patterns, and they sculpt outlandish crafts from plasticine. I will definitely send them the best plasticine in the New Year as a gift for the New Year.” the peace they ask for in their letter."

He walked around his property. What is there: toys, candies, Snickers. “Kinder Surprises”, “Lego” constructors, but there was no plasticine. Then Santa Claus opened his magic book and found a recipe for making plasticine, compiled by the most skilled craftsmen, and set to work. When the gift was ready, Santa Claus sent it to the children in Siberia. The guys received a New Year's gift and were very happy.
