Fire. Marshak S.Ya.

It is noted that the verses of Marshak for children are saturated with fire. The thing is that in early childhood a boy and his family survived a fire in his own house. The writer said that his very first bright memory from childhood is a fire that covered the curtains, mother, quickly and with excitement, dressing, incomprehensible feeling of some very deep fear. In the verses of Marshak, we will meet fire more than once. After all, he always treated him with caution and tried to convey this alertness and attentiveness to the children.

Indeed, the topic of fire, the fire - one of the most attractive and bewitching for children. In their understanding, the firefighter is the most heroic profession, and the fire engine is created for dangerous and noble adventures. That is why S. Marshak’s book “Fire” with illustrations by V. Konashevich was published as many as 28 times, starting since 1923. She was not outdated, did not leave the stage and continued to live in the old and new pictures of her best illustrator Vladimir Konashevich.

The last option updated by the authors, which came out in 1952. Now the action of the book unfolds against the background of the modern city: fire engines were replaced by fire teams, and multi -storey buildings grew on the site of one -story houses. Casting the “fire” again, Konashevich for a long time and carefully looked at the work of the fire depot in Leningrad, asked the firefighters, scrupulously sketched new cars. But in the text and in the picture there was a curious detail, which had long disappeared from a modern fire department, the meaning of which should be explained to the children: by the number of signal balls that the sentinel lifted above the Kalancha, judged the intensity of the fire and the approximate direction of the fire site.

It is recommended to parents to read aloud to children of younger preschool age, and Also to look at and discuss pictures.
