Spring stories for children. The best children's books about spring A. Chekhov "White-browed"

L. N. Tolstoy An excerpt describing spring from Anna Karenina

Part Two, Chapter XII.
…..
Spring did not open for a long time. During the last weeks of Lent the weather was clear and frosty. During the day it melted in the sun, and at night it reached seven degrees; The crust was such that they drove carts without a road, Easter was in the snow. Then suddenly, on the second day of the Holy, a warm wind blew, clouds moved in, and for three days and three nights it rained stormy and warm rain. On Thursday, the wind died down and a thick gray fog rolled in, as if hiding the secrets of the changes taking place in nature. Water poured in the fog, ice floes crackled and moved, muddy, foaming streams moved faster, and in the evening the fog broke up on Krasnaya Gorka itself, the clouds scattered like white caps, it cleared up, and real spring opened up. The next morning, the bright sun that rose quickly ate the thin ice that covered the waters, and all the warm air trembled from the vapors of the revived earth that filled it. The young grass, old and emerging with needles, turned green, the buds of viburnum, currant and sticky spirit birch puffed out, and on the vine sprinkled with golden color, an exposed flying bee buzzed. Invisible larks flooded over the velvet verdure and icy stubble, lapwings wept over lowlands and marshes filled with brown, unwashed water, and cranes and geese flew high with spring cackling. Mangy cattle roared in the pastures, only in places not yet molted, bow-legged lambs began to play around the bleating mothers losing the wave, swift-footed children ran along the drying paths, with the imprints of bare feet, the cheerful voices of women with canvases crackled on the pond, and the axes of the peasants rattled in the yards, setting up plows and harrows. The real spring has come.

spring

Chekhov A. P

The snow has not yet fallen from the ground, but spring is already asking for the soul. If you have ever recovered from a serious illness, then you know the blissful state when you freeze from vague forebodings and smile for no reason. Apparently, nature is now experiencing the same state. The ground is cold, the dirt and snow squelches underfoot, but how merry, affectionate, and affable everything is around! The air is so clear and transparent that if you climb a dovecote or a bell tower, you seem to see the whole universe from end to end. The sun shines brightly, and its rays, playing and smiling, bathe in puddles along with sparrows. The river swells and darkens; she has already woken up and not today, tomorrow she will roar. The trees are bare, but they already live and breathe.

At such a time, it is good to drive dirty water in ditches with a broom or shovel, to launch boats on the water or to hammer stubborn ice with your heels. It is also good to drive pigeons under the very heights of heaven or climb trees and tie birdhouses there. Yes, everything is fine at this happy time of the year, especially if you are young, love nature, and if you are not capricious, not hysterical, and if you are not required to sit within four walls from morning to evening. It’s not good if you are sick, if you languish in the office, if you know the muses…..

Meeting of spring: (Reasoning)

Chekhov A. P

Borea was replaced by marshmallows. A breeze is blowing either from the west or from the south (I recently did not understand the local countries of the world enough in Moscow), it blows lightly, barely touching the tails ... It’s not cold, and it’s not so cold that you can safely walk in a hat, coat and with a cane. There is no frost even at night. The snow melted, turned into muddy water, running with a murmur from the mountains and hillocks into dirty ditches; it has not melted only in the lanes and small streets, where it rests serenely under a three-inch brown, earthy layer and will rest until May ... In the fields, in the forests and on the boulevards, green grass timidly breaks through ... The trees are still completely bare, but they look out somehow cheerfully . The sky is so glorious, clear, bright; only occasionally do clouds roll in and let small splashes on the ground ... The sun shines so well, so warmly and so kindly, as if it had a nice drink, a satisfying bite and saw an old friend ... It smells of young grass, manure, smoke, mold, all kinds of rubbish, steppe and something special... In nature, everywhere you look, preparations, chores, endless cooking... The bottom line is that spring is flying.

The public, which is terribly tired of spending money on firewood, walking in heavy fur coats and ten-pound galoshes, breathing either hard, cold, or bathhouse, apartment air, joyfully, swiftly and standing on their toes, stretches out their hands towards the flying spring. Spring is a welcome guest, but is it kind? How can you tell? I don't think it's too kind, and it's not too bad either. Whatever it is, they look forward to it.

Poets old and young, the best and the worst, leaving cashiers, bankers, railroad workers and horned husbands alone for a while, scribble madrigals, dithyrambs, salutatory odes, ballads and other poetic things, singing in them every single spring charm ... As usual, they sing unsuccessfully (I'm not talking about those present). The moon, air, haze, distance, desires, "she" - they have in the foreground.

Prose writers are also tuned in a poetic way. All feuilletons, curses and praises begin and end with a description of their own feelings, inspired by the approaching spring.

Young ladies and gentlemen of that ... Suffer mortally! Their pulse beats 190 per minute, the temperature is feverish. Hearts are full of the sweetest forebodings... Spring brings love with it, and love brings with it: "How much happiness, how much torment!" In our drawing, spring holds Cupid on a string. And he does well. And in love, discipline is needed, but what would happen if she let Cupid down, gave him, a rascal, freedom? I'm a serious person, but even all kinds of devilry comes into my head due to the grace of spring smells. I am writing, and in front of my eyes there are shady alleys, fountains, birds, “she” and all that. My mother-in-law is already starting to look at me suspiciously, and my wife is constantly sticking out at the window ...

Medical people are very serious people, but even they do not sleep peacefully... They are choked by a nightmare and have the most seductive dreams. The cheeks of doctors, paramedics, pharmacists burn with a feverish blush. And not without reason! There are fetid fogs over the cities, and these fogs consist of microorganisms that produce diseases ... Chests, throats, teeth hurt ... Ancient rheumatisms, gout, neuralgia are played out. Consumptive darkness-darkness. In pharmacies, the crush is terrible. Poor pharmacists have no time to dine or drink tea. Bertolet's salt, Dover's powder, breast spices, iodine and stupid dental products are sold by the pound. As I write, I hear nickels clinking in a nearby pharmacy. My mother-in-law has flux on both sides: freak freak!

Small businessmen, loan savers, practical cannibals, liquids and kulaks dance kachucha for joy. Spring is a benefactor for them too. A thousand fur coats go to the loan offices to be eaten by hungry moths. Everything warm, which has not yet ceased to be valuable, rushes to liquid benefactors. Don't take a fur coat on loan, you will be left without a summer dress, you will flaunt in the country in beavers and raccoons. For my fur coat, which costs a minimum of 100 rubles, they gave me 32 rubles in a loan.

In Berdichev, Zhytomyr, Rostov, Poltava - knee-deep mud. The mud is brown, viscous, smelly... Passers-by sit at home and do not show their noses into the street: just look that you will drown in the devil knows what. You leave in the mud not only galoshes, but even boots with socks. Go out into the street, if necessary, either barefoot or on stilts, or best of all, don't walk at all. In mother Moscow, to be fair, you can’t leave your boots in the mud, but you will certainly pick up in galoshes. You can say goodbye to galoshes forever only in very few places (namely: at the corner of Kuznetsky and Petrovka, on Truba and almost in all squares). From village to village you will not pass, you will not pass.

Everything is going to walk and rejoice, except for the youths and youths. Young people will not see spring beyond the exams. The whole of May will go to getting fives and ones. For individuals, spring is not a welcome guest.

Wait a little, in 5-6 days, in a lot of weeks, the cats will sing louder under the windows, the liquid mud will become thick, the buds on the trees will become fluffy, the grass will look out everywhere, the sun will bake - and the real spring will set in. Wagon trains with furniture, flowers, mattresses and maids will be pulled from Moscow. Gardeners and gardeners will swarm around ... Hunters will start loading their guns.

Wait a week, be patient, but in the meantime, put strong bandages on your chest so that your raging, urgent hearts do not jump out of your chests ...

By the way, how would you like to depict spring on paper? In any form? In the old days, she was depicted as a beautiful maiden pouring flowers on the ground. Flowers are synonymous with joys... Now there are other times, other customs, and another spring. We also depict her as a lady. It does not pour flowers, because there are no flowers and a hand in a muff. We should have portrayed her as skinny, thin, skeletal, with a consumptive blush, but let her be comme il faut! We make this concession to her only because she is a lady.

, about nature, about the weather.

Spring is coming! The days have become longer, we have the sun again at home, soon the birds will sing. I always look forward to spring. My son and I are waiting for her, so at the end of February we start reading “spring books”. They will be discussed.

I really love "seasonal" books. I have a shelf of autumn books, winter books, a shelf of spring books. I think it's great to tell a child about the seasons, not only by observing the changes in nature, but also by reading certain literature. So, a small review of the "spring literature".

I also really like books that have a small plot, where the main characters perform some "seasonal" actions. For example, the absolutely wonderful book "Spring of the Bear Bruno" Ingves. The main character is Bruno the bear and his dog Lolla, they live in a house near the forest. In the spring, they have a lot to do: they need to have time to plant seedlings, hang a birdhouse, go for a walk in the forest, and at the same time have a picnic. Here are very delicate transparent drawings with many details that are not visible at first glance. Each time you read the book opens up in a new way.

The book is suitable for children from 2 to 4-5 years old.

Another similar book for children from 2 to 4 years old is " Castor's vegetable garden» Cleaning. The book isn't specifically tied to spring, but it makes more sense to plant beans in spring than in fall. Therefore, I attribute it to the "spring" books. After this book, it is also very good to grow something with a baby. Plant beans at least. My son loves this book very much.

If you have already touched on the topic of landings, then without a book « definitely not enough. This book is for older children, ages 3 to 5. The name speaks for itself. The book tells in great detail about vegetables: what they are, how they grow, what animals gardeners meet, what seasonal work needs to be done in the garden. A very useful book. It will especially appeal to children who are familiar with the garden in one way or another, and see vegetables not only on the store counter. And it will be very informative for city children.

Another story book is The Green Book of Spring by Kusharier. Only here it tells about one day in the life of a boy. So many questions are considered, ranging from how we dress in the spring to why the days are getting longer.

Now let's move on to fairy tales. There are fairy tales about spring too. These are, for example, the well-known fairy tales "The Fox and the Hare" and "Snow Maiden". The first - for the age of up to 3.5 years, the second - not earlier than 4 years.

Very interesting fairy tales are written by M. Aromshtam. I like her autumn stories (for example, "Stomach"), but the spring ones are also very good. They are just for the age of 3-4 years.

If the soul asks for something like that, then "Children of Mother Earth" von Olfers is the very thing. This book is from the beginning of the 20th century, that is, it is more than 100 years old. This is a magical story about transformations in nature. Attention, the drawings in the book may seem blurry to many.

Now let's move on to poetry.
The first book that I want to pay attention to is “The Seasons. Poems of Russian poets about nature ». It contains simply wonderful drawings by V. Kanivets. Poems are divided into seasons, the most famous (and unknown) verses are in it. The book will also come in handy at school.

Spring Story:

In spring, the sun rises higher and shines brighter, the days become longer.
Snow melts everywhere, stormy sonorous streams run.
The ice on rivers, ponds and lakes is covered with cracks, becomes loose, darkens and melts, ice drift begins. Ice floes float along the river, break with a crash, and melt water floods the meadows and lowlands. The flood begins.
Icicles hang from the roofs, at noon, when the sun warms more strongly, the icicles begin to melt, spring drops ring.
The sap of the trees, warmed by the spring sun, rises from the roots to the swelling buds. The buds of the willow have fluffed up, and although there are no leaves yet, the whole tree seems to be shrouded in a delicate yellow-green cloud. Earrings on alder and hazel become brighter, fluffy. Spring flowers open in forests, fields and meadows: coltsfoot, snowdrop, lungwort.
Insects wake up after a long winter. Migratory birds return from warm lands to their homeland. Rooks arrive first, then starlings, wagtails, and larks.
The winter hibernation of animals is coming to an end. Adult animals shed, winter wool is replaced by summer, and the squirrel and hare also change the color of their coats.
A she-bear comes out of the den with her cubs. A badger comes out of a hole. The she-wolf has cubs.
In the spring people have a lot of work. In the field they prepare the soil for crops and sow rye, barley, and millet. Early crops are sown in vegetable gardens: dill, parsley, carrots, onions.
Gardens are covered with white and pink lace capes - apple trees, cherries, plums bloom.

Poems about Spring

Winter is getting angry
Her time has passed
Spring is knocking on the window
And drives from the yard.
And everything got busy
Everything forces Winter out -
And larks in the sky
The alarm has already been raised.
Winter is still busy
And grumbles at Spring.
She laughs in her eyes
And it only makes more noise...
Wicked witch pissed off
And grab the snow
Let go, run away
To a beautiful child...
Spring and grief is not enough:
Washed up in the snow
And only became blush
Against the enemy.
(F. Tyutchev)

***
Capel
I listen to drops at noon
It murmurs like a bird's chirp.
Ringing with a crystal bell
Escaping from the roof above the porch.
Kapel murmurs, rings, sings,
She breaks snow and ice.
She doesn't care about a big snowdrift,
She runs like a living stream.
I'll clear the way for the stream
So that he can see the world.

***
spring
Spring has a lot of work
Rays help her:
Together they drive along the roads
talking streams,
Melt the snow, break the ice,
Warm all around.
From under the needles and blades of grass
The first sleepy beetle crawled out.
Flowers on the thaw
golden blossoms,
Poured, swollen buds
Bumblebees fly from the nest.
Spring has a lot of worries,
But things are looking up:
Emerald field became
And the gardens are in bloom.

***
Spring
Look, spring is coming
Cranes fly in a caravan
The day is drowning in bright gold,
And streams on ravines rustle.
Soon you will have guests
How many nests will be built, look!
What kind of sounds, for songs will pour
Day-to-day from dawn to dusk.
(I. S. Nikitin)

***
spring song
The snow is no longer the same -
It darkened in the field.
Ice cracked on the lakes
It's like they split.
Clouds run faster
The sky got higher.
Sparrow chirped
Have fun on the roof.
It's getting blacker every day
Stitches and paths
And on willows with silver
Earrings glow.
(S. Marshak)

***
Spring
Spring is coming to us
With quick steps
And the snowdrifts are melting
Under her feet.
Black thawed patches
visible in the fields.
Yes, very warm
Spring's feet.
(I. Tokmakova)

***
About Spring
They told us about spring
Songs from the birdhouse
And yellow earrings
On the branches of a hazel.
They told us about spring
Sparrows are pugnacious,
Shaggy willows,
The streams are noisy.
Butterfly-urticaria
On a forest clearing,
blue snowdrops
And raw boots.
(N. Naydenova)

"Spring Bear Bruno"

Ingves Gunilla

In the book Bruno the Bear's Spring, the bear and his dog go for a walk in the morning to see what has changed in nature with the onset of spring. They watch how birds build nests and hatch chicks, how young grass breaks through last year's foliage, how insects wake up. They learn to distinguish by the voices of songbirds - a lark, a woodpecker, an owl, plant seedlings and do spring cleaning in the house. The main story of the book is "framed" by notes from the diary of Bruno's observations, which are placed at the beginning and at the end of the book. They contain a lot of sketches and informative information from the natural world of a certain time of the year.

Castor's vegetable garden

Clinting Lars

In the book Castor's Garden, the indefatigable beaver Castor, along with his friend Frippe, grow beans on the windowsill.

Each step of the process is illustrated and described in detail, so if you follow Castor's advice exactly, you can easily grow wonderful beans on your home windowsill to one day cook them for dinner.

How vegetables grow

Müller Gerda

The vegetable garden is a magical place where children who grew up in the city can watch the life and growth of plants.

Tanya learns a lot of interesting things about those plants, the fruits of which she had previously seen only on store shelves. For example, how green peas are born and grow, what role insects and birds play in plant life, how to cook a delicious salad and how to grow crispy radishes and juicy greens in your own apartment by setting up a small garden on a balcony or windowsill.

This is a magical story about transformations in nature. It is great for thematic classes about nature and plants. The book is remarkable in that it was written more than a hundred years ago, therefore it conveys to us a fairy tale in the spirit of those times when nature was not yet treated with such a consumer attitude. The story of how baby roots sleep in nondescript clothes all winter, and in the spring Mother Earth wakes them up, and they sew colorful outfits for themselves to go to the surface in them. It seems to be a simple fairy tale, but with a deep meaning, especially if you discuss it with children. It is also valuable that the encyclopedic data is presented in an artistic form. The illustrations are made by the author, in the spirit of Waldorf pedagogy. There are pictures on every page.

Gil Barklem, Spring Story

The author of a fairly well-known in England series of books about the inhabitants of the Blackberry Glade studied the life of her country in the 19th century for a long time. And then she took up writing adapted children's stories. The main characters of this book are members of a mouse family that lives among the roots of an old blackberry, the thickets of which reliably hide its inhabitants from the encroachments of all villains. Usually, mice are always busy with something - preparing supplies for the winter, making jam, drying mushrooms. But they also love to arrange all kinds of holidays and have fun meeting the arrival of each new season. By the way, the author also creates unusual illustrations herself.
