They tell me: don't make a face if your face is crooked. But how can she be direct if they are already offending. I was handsome before perestroika. Sophia Loren was in line for an autograph. And now, of course, the face is twisted. And fixed.
But what a face it used to be, beautiful. And most importantly - responsible. I led the clan in our city. Clan of Dogs.
Yes, when I called the grocery store and said that it was me, daddy Pasha Sobakin, they only asked me: when and how much? Because where and what exactly - they knew!
And somehow it all started unexpectedly. I called the prosecutor's office and imprisoned Sorokin for five years. He interfered with us. And then suddenly they let him out in four. Day. I feel that someone's hand is preventing me from leading in the city. Then I released Chervyakov. So that he, then, ticked on this hand. But he was immediately seized and put back. I think it's come to life! Don't put anyone in, don't let anyone out. Well, the lawlessness is terrible!
I say what's the matter? And they tell me that the Koshkin clan is coming into force. Well, who could take these Koshkins into account before? So-so clan, average. They licked our hands and looked into our eyes. Well, they had some positions in the city, they controlled something. But against us, the Sobakins - God forbid! There was no such thing.
Further more. These Koshkins began to take by cunning. They sent their scufflers and beat one of our comrades. Strongly. He should speak at the collegium, but he confuses everything. Diarrhea is confused with appendicitis. Coffee - with cognac. Plus a bruise under his eye. I made up his face. Under the bruise. The bruise was larger than the face. Made up. The face is even prettier. And he went to speak. He asked for not even two medals, but two orders! But for the Koshkins! Confused, son of a dog! That's how they beat it.
But then the Koshkins grew bolder and generally ran ahead of the slogans. And in the city, posts were occupied under the guise of perestroika. And we, Sobakins, fell down, who went where.
Now you can't take sick leave to take care of yourself. Now Koshkins are taking care of themselves. You won't wash in our Finnish sauna. Now there Cat's sins are washed away. And if I want a sandwich, for example, with something, then please give me a sandwich with bread. How everything turned out!
It gets ridiculous. The Koshkin clan pickled two million rubles for the winter. In two liter jars. It was they who okarakalpachili this millionaire from Karakalpakstan. And we, Sobakins, opened our mouths and envy. Sour. As if they drank tea instead of cognac.
I understand that these are difficult times. These Koshkins beat us with our own slogans. And why? Yes, because our clan has always met the needs of the working people. Xia. And somewhere we missed them. We urgently need to find workers. Xia. And again go to meet them.
We have always cared about the intelligentsia. But somewhere she slipped out from under our care. We urgently need to find the intelligentsia and surround it again. Care and attention.
And the last. Yes, our Sobakin clan is a friendly clan. We have always been cheek to cheek. But cheek to cheek - no cheek to see. That's where we overlooked this cheek. They set her up with Koshkin. Therefore, we, the Sobakins, need to look around and again - cheek to cheek. And boldly - against the Koshkins.
Here is my personal collective opinion!
Invented for kids from 3 to 5 years. In total, the book contains 20 good sketches from the life of the most ordinary family. They will definitely be understandable and interesting to young readers, because the author describes very familiar situations. And don't forget about the charming illustrations of the artist! They are as cozy, funny, simple and understandable as the stories themselves.
The characters spend a lot of time together: playing, walking, cleaning, cooking. Pasha behaves the same as most children. He loves to eat ice cream and watch circus performances, asks a lot of questions, does not like to wash his hair, sometimes he does not want to go to kindergarten at all. The kid will recognize himself in all this and will laugh more than once at the funny dialogues of the characters. And a thoughtful parent will try to explain to the child something new about the world around them along the way.
Each story is an occasion to talk about the rules of conduct, love, care, optimism, kindness. Why did dad stop getting mad at the noisy excavator driver? Why did Pasha change his mind about hunting elephants? What helped the boy cope with a bad mood? Why did mom compliment the hard cake that family members made for her? You can read stories, and then ask your baby questions and discuss important points.
Parents, too, can learn from this good book. She perfectly shows how to communicate with a child - with sincere interest, sensitivity, a share of humor and unlimited patience. Use the Pasha Papa method if you want the baby to wash his hair without whims, eat the main course before dessert, or clean the room.
It is very important that it is the father who spends time with the child in the book. This is a great example to follow. Usually mothers are engaged in children (this topic, for example, is well revealed by the collection of poems ""), but the author shows that dad can also take care of the baby and be his true friend.
The undoubted plus of the stories is that they are funny. The jokes in the book are designed for kids, but some of them will also be appreciated by adults. For example, when Pasha does not want to go to Kindergarten and asks to take him to the office with him, the father quite funny explains to the boy what work is. And here is the end of the conversation:
“You know, I don’t want to play work. Somehow it's boring. I'd rather take a fire truck and play with Vanya. Maybe you will also stay with me in kindergarten?
"I'd love to," Dad said, and sighed. “But I might have to play work.”

As soon as you open the book, you find yourself in Thebes in 1255 BC and the life of Pharaoh Ramses II is now in your hands. He's in danger. And if anything happens to him, Egypt will plunge into the abyss of trouble. To prevent this from happening, the reader will have to study the evidence and analyze what is happening in every possible way. To look like the locals, it would be nice to make yourself an ancient Egyptian hairstyle, put on a tunic and leather sandals.
One of the witnesses scared the intruder when he was writing a letter of instruction to a man about to kill the pharaoh. There are four suspects...
Have you already realized that you will have to thoroughly study the addictions, hobbies and life of the ancient Egyptians? And all this is not particularly straining and solving interesting problems.
Irina MUROMTSEVA, TV presenter of Channel One (mother of two daughters - 4 and 16 years old):
I grew up in a military garrison in Rzhev. It was difficult with books in the 80s and 90s. Everyone took it out, read it, then exchanged it with friends, in general, each new book is a special thrill. A lot has been read. I loved, I remember, reading stories from the collection Eno Rauda, adored Russian fairy tales - then these books were published with illustrations by brilliant Russian artists. But, to be honest, I relish children's literature now, more precisely, the last 16 years with a short break.
At first I read to the elder Lyubasha, until she seized the initiative at the age of 9. After that, on her advice, and after her, I read children's books. Now we are reading with Sashulya. Then, with my first daughter, I discovered Roald Dahl, Kate di Camillo, Julia Donaldson, Veronika Kungurtseva and others.
I have to admit, I'm a book maniac. Looking for new books in the store, looking at illustrations, then reading delightful texts with your child is a special pleasure. Reading is our daily ritual. You can just look at the pictures. Make up your own stories. You can get a little tired of adult literature, you may want to switch to cinema or music. And children's literature is something that NOTHING compares to!
From time to time I recommend something from children's books on my Instagram. From the last one that pleased - the Rosman publishing house released the chic poems of Franz Witkamp translated by Marina Boroditskaya, as well as simply magical editions of Mary Poppins.
"Bella: meetings after"
The authors - writers and journalists Marina Zavada and Yuri Kulikov - compiled the most voluminous collection of memoirs, asking about Bella Akhatovna a lot of people who knew her - from Vladimir Voiinovich to Marina Vladi, from Mikhail Shemyakin to the daughters of Anna and Elizabeth. Therefore, having closed the book, it seems as if he already knows her heroine personally. It spins in my head: “a man of the era”, “a man of the era” ... And immediately you sharply regret that in fact you are not familiar. Did not have time. And I want to re-read everything again: what if I missed something? Almost a dozen of Bella's friends merge into one big one, which debunks all the common gossip and myths about her. Not a "vicious beauty", not a "drinking bohemian poetess", not a "disembodied spirit of poetry", but a person in all freedom and depth. Who actively loves her universe: children (otherwise they would not love her so much in return), dogs (DOGS - she said you need to write all capital letters), friends (the highest form of friendly address "brother" - to people of both sexes). Who fearlessly, chivalrously stands up for the offended and courageously prepares for the impending darkness: in last years she was losing her sight and could not write.
“A normal person is a living person, he does not have to be a saint. Decent - another matter. So, Bella was a very decent person, ”these words of Vladimir Voinovich echo famous aphorism, which is attributed to Ranevskaya: “It is better to be a good man, swearing, than a quiet, well-mannered creature. By the way, Akhmadulina almost never cursed.
Reproaches of unnaturalness, affectation are originally dismissed by Yuri Rost: “There was much more naturalness in Bella than a person needs. Therefore, sometimes it was taken for unnaturalness. Unlocks "Encounters After" last interview Bella Akhatovna, and completes her diaries of 1961 - 1963, accidentally discovered by the authors and not previously published anywhere.
In general, the book is not for dusty upper shelves: it is both for reading and for re-reading.

POEMS
Dad says sometimes
For me to eat more.
You know, dear dad,
I am tired of you.
Do you like fresh
Draft beer?
Dad, why am I
Do not live beautifully?
I love ice cream,
I love candy.
Well, I'm supposed to
Only porridge and meatballs!
This is where Mom came in.
What is the controversy here?
Everyone to the kitchen, gentlemen,
I made soup!
My friend Vitka got sick
My friend Vitka got sick.
Everything would be nothing.
Yes, the yard seems to be empty
Immediately without him.
Just yesterday, Thursday,
We ran and played.
Ate delicious, fresh snow,
Hats were thrown.
And today he lies.
Coughs, sneezes.
And, probably, with him
Nobody will play.
Mom will ask in between cases:
- Why don't you play?
- Oh, my friend Vitka got sick,
What do you understand?..
Baba Glasha's porridge
Pasha and Dasha
They came to Baba Glasha.
Baba Glasha became
Feed them porridge.
"No, Baba Glasha, -
Pasha and Dasha said, -
tasteless porridge,
Your porridge is a baby!
Not porridge, but kvasha!
Learn, Baba Glasha,
So makes porridge
Our mother:
Crumble on top
Sprinkle with cookies.
After put
Three spoons of jam.
And instead of bread -
piece of cake
Or candy
But ice cream is better!
“This is not Europe for you! -
Baba Glasha said, -
Priests stick together
From such porridge ...
Well, you brains,
Get the spoons!
And so that in a minute
Not a crumb left!”
Trip to the store
We are a wonderful family
Father, mother, daughter, son.
And the family went
One morning to the store.
And they picked up a cart there,
Full products:
Cheese, cutlets and dumplings,
My brother and I - fruit.
Lots of juice, buns,
Sweet cake.
And of course delicious.
Fruit icecream.
I have red sandals
Blue t-shirt.
Brother - a cool cap
And funny shorts
I asked for a doll
They told me: "No!"
And the brother begged
Mom has a gun.
An incident happened here:
Dad got lost.
What's the deal? There is no dad.
Dad was there!
Looks like he's standing
Behind the big column.
He does not see us and looks
Quite the other way.
And some all in white
Aunt with dad next to me.
Mom looked at the aunt
Bad look...
It turned out that aunt that -
From daddy's work.
Dad, goodbye and let's go
We want home!
Well, we're finally back
The refrigerator is full.
“Wash your hands! - said the father, -
And hurry to the table!”
Here's a sliced fresh bread,
Spread as it should be
Our lunch will be delicious
And then there's ice cream!
There is no better fun in the world than wandering through puddles in boots
There is no better fun in the world
Than to wander through the puddles in boots.
Spring rain rang on the roofs,
Gave us joy in the yards.
Small lakes and big ones
And big puddles are like seas,
And for them the boys are mischievous
They jump, almost breaking their heads.
Great, throwing a stone into a puddle,
Enjoy splashes and waves
And run away from an angry mother,
Rub drops on cheeks.
And then sit and sniff,
Enjoy drinking hot tea
Asking questions all the time
Overturn the mug casually.
Drying pants on the battery,
And it's already getting dark in the yards.
There is nothing more fun in the world
Than to wander through the puddles in boots!
Dispute of three crows
Three black crows
Argued with the raven
Which of the three is smarter
Who flies the fastest
Who has been the farthest
Well, he stole the most!
Spread out the first
gray buttons,
Red buttons
Yes, satin scarves.
– Kar! in garment factories
And there is no such thing!
If you really need it, you
I can bring!
The second brought
Healthy cat.
The cat woke up, yawned,
Meowing angrily, he ran away.
The third raised its wing,
Underneath is a cell phone
With pistol holster
And ... criminal cases!
- Here on the river near the bridge
The policeman was swimming
Oh, I almost died
How he followed me!
The raven croaked indifferently:
- You are stupid...
After all, all these trinkets
You don't really need it!
Day off
“Mom, is tomorrow a day off?”
Shall we go to kindergarten?
- Day off, my dear.
Let's finally rest!
"Daddy, where are we going?"
– Where would you like to go?
– I would like to… Maybe to the park?
There on the bike to drive.
Or is it better to go to the store
Buy me a gun?
- Okay, only if so,
You will help me.
But first let's eat
Omelet with tomatoes.
- What kind of help do you need?
- Well, son, there are things to do:
Mom will cook soup
Yes, clean the apartment.
We need to fix
Toddler bed.
Take trash out of the house
Run the laundry, well, in a word,
To us, my friend, from you
Any help is important.
Let's get the house in order
And then we'll rest!
- Well, if necessary, I will
help you a little
And baby toys
Clean up the box from the floor.
I lay out the pencils
Things - in the closet, water the flowers.
Only after, promise
Let's go to the park, to the store?
- Darling, don't worry.
Anything you want, we'll visit.
And now we're going to eat
And - for the cause! Right, son?
Giant fight
Sasha hit the battery:
Bom-bom, boom-bom!
And the battery was boiling:
Shim-shom, shim-shom!
He banged with a hockey stick
rubber ball
He fired a cannon at her
He hit her with a crack with his sword.
The battery did not give up
Sasha is exhausted
If only help arrived,
If only someone could help!
Thank God Uncle Vasya
From the second floor
He also began to beat on her,
Deafeningly loud.
Here is Baba Valya from above,
That "was going to die"
The beginning of a sticky iron
Likho help Sasha!
"Well, we are such a crowd
Let's deal with him jokingly! -
Sasha thought so, really
threshing giant.
What is the ringing in the hallway?
Yes, they are knocking now!
Maybe there is a passerby
Hastened to help at the door?
On the threshold - the whole company:
Uncle Vasya with poker
In a terrible dance, Baba Valya
With a metal stick.
All awake Uncle Gena
("He lives on the night shift" -
Dad often said
Baba Vera with Aunt Klava
(As my mother used to say,
"The devil himself gave birth to these two!").
Everyone is in a "kindly" mood:
"Uh, so it's you sickly
Raised the whole house “on the ears”?
Well, where are the parents? Let's go to!"
Sasha without a big hunt,
But he explained to his neighbors:
“Dad will come home from work at six,
Mom went to the store.
And that Sasha is not bad -
Waiting for mom and dad
He is fighting an unequal battle
With an evil, terrible giant!
Smiling delicately
Uncle Gena cried out: “Stop!
In battle with this giant
You risk your head.
You won't take it with a grain of salt,
You get some rest
And when dad comes back
Sit quietly for a while
Well, we are mom and dad
Wait downstairs, honey…”
Sasha hid in a corner for a long time
Flushed face.
How did it happen? Mom and dad
