Alexander Shibaev who is first. Meet: master of play poetry for children A.A. Shibaev
Alexander Aleksandrovich Shibaev (1923-1979) did not enter, as they recently said, “into the fold”, into the first rank of post-war children's poetry. A Leningrader, not a Muscovite, a modest person, homely, not public, he did not lay claim to the role of a literary star. A dozen and a half books for children published during his lifetime; the final book, as it turned out, “Friends Holding Hands” (1977) and another large book, “Native Language, Be Friends with Me” (1981), which appeared posthumously, which he finished writing in a hospital bed - that, in fact, is all of his literary heritage.
In the second half of the 60s, in the 70s, when our poetry for little ones was often limited to describing children’s life or was led by “drum” optimism, Shibaev turned to the foundations of culture - to language as such, its laws, its wealth. He began to consistently teach children their native, ordinary speech through poetic speech. He poeticized school grammar and found a precise, educational, entertaining approach for each lesson, revealing in poetry both the magic of language and, at the same time, teaching methods. Riddles, tongue twisters, inversions, small plot stories about sounds, letters, words and punctuation marks - Shibaev went further than many in this game: perhaps for the first time such a vast area of practical language came into the field of view of a children's poet.
Are you reading?..
- I’m reading.
Not great yet...
- Come on, read this word.
- I’ll read it now.
YOU-E-LY-KY-A.
- And what happened?
- COW!
Who in childhood did not have to quickly repeat a special word and “pick out” from its sounds another word that sounded similar to it? Shibaev brings this game to poetic perfection, pushing the reader to search for such “double” words, revealing their internal connections:
Animal, animal, where are you running?
What's your name, baby?
- I’m running into the reeds-reeds-reeds,
I am mouse-mouse-mouse.
Shibaev especially focused his attention on the euphonic side of language. This is understandable: the comprehension of speech begins with sound; one single sound, one letter often becomes the main difference between words that are completely alien to each other. The poet emphasizes this difference cheerfully and wittily:
The letter "D" at the bottom of the pond
We found crayfish.
Since then they have been in trouble:
Every now and then Fights.
Moving from sound to word, Shibaev here again demonstrates the accuracy of his eye and the acuity of his hearing. Then he forces you to listen to the words themselves, revealing their meaning in their sound:
Talking about hard stone
And the hard word is GRANITE.
And for things that are softest of all,
Words are softer:
FLUFF, MOSS, FUR.
Then, starting from the meaning - through sound - it shows the amazing versatility and unexpectedness of native speech:
I walked across the lawn.
I look - ADMIRAL...
I quietly crept up to him
And - caught it!
Got it!
Finally caught the admiral!..
Rich
Butterfly collection
Became!
Twin words and punctuation marks, syllables and prepositions, reading rules and cultural speech skills - everything becomes the object of attention. And in poems devoted to the more complex laws of language, Shibaev is always looking for a way to stir up a student of his poetic school, force him to answer the question correctly, or even give himself a well-deserved mark:
We are studying transference.
This is how I transferred the words.
“Barely” I suffered “e-two”
And he got two for it.
“Injection” I suffered “u-injection”
And he received a stake for it.
“Again” I suffered “o-five”.
Now, I hope, there will be “five”?!
These lines are good because they play the rhyme expectation game: after reading the word, the reader already guesses what rating the hero deserves, and, laughing, can easily restore the correct spelling when transferred.
Of course, the poems of Alexander Shibaev became a direct development of an already existing tradition. This is the Marshak school and the work of its creator. These are shapeshifters and riddles of Kharms. These are associative connections with contemporaries - Boris Zakhoder, Genrikh Sapgir, Vadim Levin. In this series, Shibaev’s place is significant and original: by making language the main character of the poems, he showed that play - when it exists not for the sake of simple fun, but for the sake of learning and comprehension of culture - is extremely necessary for children's poetry.
“An Entertaining ABC” by A. Shibaev, published today in “Makhaon”, represents the poet’s work in a full-blooded and purposeful manner. Purposeful - because these are, as it says on the cover, real lessons in reading and literacy. And full-blooded, because in addition to a lot of poetic (and prosaic, and - additionally - playful) material, the book presents Alexander Shibaev as a brilliant poet, for whom pedagogy is only a special form of conveying to the reader the entire wealth of his inner poetic world.

Getting to know the biography.
Alexander Alexandrovich Shibaev(1923–1979), poet, trained as a professional military man and artilleryman. Graduated from the 3rd Leningrad Artillery School (1942), participated in the Great Patriotic War. After being wounded (1943) – commander of the cargo escort department.
He published his first poem for children (“About a Braggart”) in 1957 in the Lenin Sparks newspaper, and in 1959 he published his first book, “Girlfriends.”

– Listen to another poem by A. Shibaev, it will help you complete your homework.
A name is given to everything - both the beast and the object.
There are plenty of things around, but there are no nameless ones.
And all that the eye can see is above us and below us,
And everything that is in our memory is signified by words.
They can be heard here and there, on the street and at home:
One thing has long been familiar to us, the other is unfamiliar.
Words words words…
Language is both old and eternally new!
And it's so beautiful -
In a huge sea - a sea of words
Swim every hour!
Homework:read expressively (pp. 17–19).
Alexander Aleksandrovich Shibaev (1923 - 1979), a native of Volkhov, shared the fate of his generation: he fought on the Leningrad front, was seriously wounded, struggled with illness for many years... And he wrote funny, joyful children's poems. His two “thick” books – “Holding Hands, Friends” (1977) and “Native Language, Be Friends with Me” (1981) – in terms of their meaning and artistic value, will outweigh the numerous reprints of some of the current popular poets. These two books turned out to be “many volumes heavier,” as one great Russian poet of the 19th century said about another. There were also thin books, publications in periodicals, in various collections and anthologies, so Shibaev’s poems reached the recipient, that is, children, and this is the main thing. A man of rare modesty and delicacy, according to the testimony of people who knew him well, the poet did not strive to be in the public eye, he simply did his favorite job very well, without betraying his talent.
But things never came to the point of recognizing Shibaev as a classic, a poet of the first magnitude, which is the greatest injustice and an indicator of the extreme limitations of writing and teaching circles. Understanding people - for example, the poet Mikhail Yasnov, an absolute expert and subtle promoter of real poetry - give Shibaev an honorable place in children's poetry of the last century. Shibaev's originality and skill are obvious, although he worked in the genre of play poetry, where only a person with truly remarkable talent can invent something new. Especially in poetry that “plays” with the native language. For children, Shibaev’s poems are a balm for the soul, because he does not hide the fact that the richness of the Russian language is difficult to master, it’s like finding a treasure, that the language must be felt (and for this you need to be able to feel at all!), but this is not a hopeless matter. His poetry is a rare type of creativity, when an absolutely frivolous, “humorous” matter gives a serious, vital result: the child begins to understand the beauty of his native language, treat it as a living being, love it and take care of it. Every teacher and every schoolchild should adopt poems, tongue twisters, all sorts of confusions and inversions invented by Shibaev, and then the native language will fulfill one of its most important functions - others will begin to understand you. And I will not dwell on the immense pleasure from Shibaev’s poetic and linguistic discoveries, which today’s native speakers define as “high,” leaving the readers to become discoverers and lifelong friends of the poet themselves.

Probably everyone has tried to write poetry. Let's try to write a poem in this lesson. Guess who our poem is about:
Horned, not a deer.
It is the cow that gives milk, not the cow.

Read the poem and try to remember it:
The goat ran into the garden.
People came towards her.
Aren't you ashamed, fidget?
And the goat lowered her eyes.
And when the people dispersed,
I ran to the garden again!

- Writing poetry is very simple.
- What should we write about?
- Whatever we see, we’ll write about it!
- The dog rushed across the yard,
- The cat climbed onto the fence,
- The birds are singing merrily,
- White clouds are floating.
- Grandfather left the store.
- He has a basket in his hands.
- And there’s jam in that basket.
- That's the whole poem!
Petya and Murzilka did not write a poem because they did not think about the topic they would write about.

Book illustrator, artist Vadim Gusev (Fig. 20), wrote this:
“It was very interesting for me to play language, such a big, very complex game in which you need to think so much. This game is played with signs: punctuation marks, letters, words that form letters - all these are signs. Their purpose is to indicate meaning. This is the most interesting thing - to designate, this is why you need to think. It’s always interesting to think, and when you come up with it, you come up with it, you come up with it, it’s fun.
Every game is played according to the rules. You need to know the rules. Those who do not even know simple rules are laughed at. “He (she, they) is funny!” We have fun - we know how to do it right! Shibaev’s poems laugh with us!”
Rice. 20. Vadim Ivanovich Gusev ()
One can say about Alexander Shibaev that he heard a word, an object with his bare ears. And this heightened hearing is transmitted to the attentive listener and reader of his funny and educational poems.
Take Alexander Shibaev's poems from the library. Read and think, it's very exciting. Read with your parents and on your own.

Somehow, unexpectedly, I remembered the story “Absurd Things.” But I don’t know anything about its author, Alexander Shibaev. I wanted to find information about this talented children's writer. I'm sharing with you.
