The kids first met the cute characters of one of the most popular and favorite children's books, Crocodile Gena and His Friends, many, many years ago: around the year 1966. Eduard Nikolaevich Ouspensky then just turned 27 years old, he recently graduated from the Aviation Institute, receiving an engineering degree.
How did it happen that E.Uspensky for several years became one of the most widely read children's prose writers and poets? This question was asked to him, mainly by journalists, when they were going to publish the next interview or article. For Eduard Ouspensky himself, the arrival to children's literature did not raise any doubts, although, as already mentioned, he was not at all "studying for a writer."
He was fourteen or fifteen years old, he was in the eighth grade and, in the opinion of his parents, as well as some of the school teachers, was in urgent need of “correction”, as an inventor and mischievous person. And so, after an urgent family school interview, Edik Ouspensky was "appointed" to counselors for four-hunk kids. Imagine, the "fix" was successful, and how! He spent the whole day inventing various games with his charges, went with them on unprecedented travels, they played interesting and funny stories together.
So since then it has become a tradition. And in the country, in the village, and in the pioneer camps, where Ouspensky traveled of his own will as a librarian, and only then, during numerous meetings with his young readers, an amazing — at least, many “serious adults” were surprised — were surprised. the nature of this man. He did not at all acknowledge that he adapted to the level of development of his little friends, he was able to tell fun, cleverly and unusually exciting. And there was always something to tell him, because in his soul, in his thoughts and character’s stock, much remained that is characteristic of the youngest inhabitants of the earth: the ability to wonder, rejoice, and the desire to share this surprise and joy with everyone.
Immediately after the “Crocodile Gena and his friends” first came out of print, another one appeared - this time a poetic book by Edward Ouspensky “A Multicolored Family. Well, to tell the truth, and the heroes were found by a young poet!” Family ”of octopuses - bizarre sea animals, where "the kids had a bad trait; they wanted to change colors "
From the very first books Edward Ouspensky had his own writing feature, his own, as critics say, his manner, his own creative language. At first, specialists in children's literature and even teachers came at times at a loss, trying in two words to "generalize" his creative manner. Well, in fact, how to "summarize" is:
- One simple fairy tale,
Or maybe not a fairy tale
Or maybe not easy
I want to tell.
I remember her from childhood
Or maybe not since childhood,
Or maybe I do not remember
But I will remember.
And then it is generally not known about anyone: not something about an elephant, not something about a pig, not something quite a lady about ... a crocodile! This is in a poetic tale written before the "Crocodile Gena", a fairy tale in which, perhaps, only the name at least somehow defines something in the affirmative, - "Once upon a time there was only an elephant". Then such miracles will go that only manage to pick up endless "and maybe .." up to the address that the author "himself remembered, but only forgotten."
Yes, the one who nevertheless tries to “learn a lesson” from the “edifying” story told about endless amendments and reservations about a lost baby elephant, a piglet, or maybe a crocodile, will fall into a difficult situation! Especially if he is completely devoid of a sense of humor and is simply not able to burst out laughing from his heart, reading such funny and in general nothing but the ability to perceive this funny, rejoice in it and enjoy it, not pretending verses ...
In any case, the multimillion-dollar children's audience — both the readers of the books of Eduard Ouspensky, the listeners of Radio Nursery, and the audience of ABCGDEIKA, in the creation of which the author, who has been working for radio and television for a long time, takes an active part — reactions, to an absolute degree. Isn't this the main thing for a person who confesses: “I have fun when I compose ... When I have an opportunity, I will make fun of adults. Let parents be woken up merrily when they read them” (i.e., poems and fairy tales ) "to my children".
Laughing and laughing, Edward Ouspensky, really, reaches a far greater pedagogical- "edified
