Anastasia Orlova " this is a truck, and this is a trailer»
This is a very cozy Malyshkova book for boys from one year to 3 years. In it, the story of the relationship between parent and child is shown through a "machine" analogy: a truck and a trailer, which is nowhere without a truck. As the trailer wants to quickly rolls down the mountain, as pays attention to the chickens, as the truck is angry at the trailer, which unhooked (read "pulled his arm") and rolled away. But no matter how angry the older man is, he will always, always come back for his trailer. I think that for this moment the boys (and girls by the way) asking you to read it endlessly. In her major text of different heights and even colors, a lot of simple onomatopoeia, so it will be a great tool for language development.

Samuel Marshak " the Story of the unknown hero»
A win-win classic. Many know the beginning of this poem:
"Firefighters are looking for, police are looking for,
Looking for photographers in our capital…»
I remind you that they are looking for a guy who risked his life to carry out a burning house a little girl, while onlookers just watched the fire, and then disappeared on the tram, without waiting for gratitude.
Being a mom, it's hard to read lines without emotions:
"There from window through the fire smoke
The child stretched out his hands to them."
Or not empathize with hero:
"Saw the people looking down,<
How carefully he walked along the ledge.
He's halfway there.
We still have half to go."
For me - this is a story of real courage and heroism, it is about such heroes that I want to read to children.

William grill " lost in the ice. Shackleton Expedition»
This amazing story actually happened: Ernest Shackleton went on a long expedition to cross the frozen heart of Antarctica. But his plans were not to come true-the ship "endurance", coming to the mainland, was tightly jammed with ice and sank.
Left without a ship, thousands of miles from home, the crew made a desperate attempt to escape — and set off across the Antarctic ice in search of help. This work was specially adapted for children, Fedor Konyukhov himself advised the translators.
The illustrations in the book play a very important role: you will get acquainted with each member of the crew and even with each dog of the team, and then it is not some abstract travelers suffer cold and hardship, but a very specific Frank, Leonard and Walter.
A perfect example of endurance in a difficult situation, faith in victory and willingness to go to the end, remaining human.
