Summary: A fascinating and inspiring book!
Comment: This is one of the best books ever written on young children, their language development and their stories and poems. It has been a real inspiration to me in my own work in related areas. Get it back into print, somebody!

Summary: Wonderful instruction for anyone with or around children
Comment: I wish a new edition of this book would become available. Chukovsky has written an insightful, delightful book about children's capacity to use language and narration to craft meaning.

He transmits wonderful example's of the child's growing reasoning skills and never belittles the young learners. This book is academic and pleasure reading, quite a claim, I know, but accurate.

I think that anyone who writes children's poems or stories would take particular delight in reading this. He outlines 13 guidelines in writing for children that should save one from miscues and failures and speak straight to the hearts and minds of the child.

It is a little dated, mainly because Chukovsky wrote in 1960 in the midst of a Soviet regime. Yet, the truth and the passion still emerge. The respect that he has for children's capacity to learn should be the role model for each of us.

I sincerely recommend this book to you.
