Hello friends! Today we will talk about one interesting book by Boris Zhitkov.

Book "What am I saw"— encyclopedia for children from 3 to 6 years old. The book is structured in the form of a journey. The story is told on behalf of a four-year-old boy, Alyosha. Like everyone at this age, he constantly asks the question “Why?” For this he is nicknamed Pochemochka. Alyosha travels by train, flies by plane, sails on a ship, sees a lot of new and interesting things. And he talks about everything.

The original, innovative form attracts many writers and publishers and encourages them to create a kind of continuation of the book about Pochemuchka. Such are, for example, “In the Footsteps of Pochemuchka” by Oleg Kurguzov or “Pochemuchka” by A. Dietrich, G. Yurmin and R. Koshurnikova.

Dietrich, A.; Yurmin, G.; Koshurnikova, R. Pochemuchka . M.: Pedagogy-press; 1996. 7th edition. Binding: laminated hard; 384 pages; ISBN: 5-7155-0748-0; format: encyclopedic
A multi-genre book-game in which funny characters act, fairy tales are told, funny and instructive stories and poems, riddles, a kind of encyclopedia for the little ones, designed for so-called continuous reading.
The authors dedicate their book to Boris Zhitkov, the creator of the image of Alyosha the Why.

In the footsteps of Pochemuchka" is a very funny book. In the lung humorous storytelling contains funny explanations of a variety of natural phenomena. They are just as imaginative and understandable as those of the progenitor of the genre, Boris Zhitkov, whose books the author, Oleg Kurguzov, loved very much as a child.

You can carry out activities based on Boris Zhitkov’s book: a library lesson, a lesson in kindergarten, quizzes, “Guessing games”. Use these materials in your work. I especially recommend it to parents of preschoolers.

"MUSEUM OF WHY"

QUIZ “Yesterday and Today”

Pair cards with the names of objects, preferably placing an image next to the name:

“A long-distance navigator who has seen half of the countries globe, shipbuilding engineer, inventor, “a jack of all trades... and also gifted... with great talent as an artist - is it surprising that such a person eventually takes up the pen and... immediately creates books that are unprecedented in world literature!” V. Bianchi Boris Stepanovich Zhitkov ()

Boris Zhitkov was born on August 30 (September 11), 1882. B.S. Zhitkov traveled halfway around the world - Russia, Europe, Asia, Japanese islands. He spoke fluently in many languages, played the violin excellently, and was a skilled trainer. Richest life experience and the ability to interestingly and accurately express his thoughts on paper led B.S. Zhitkov to children's literature. He created about two hundred works and among them - amazing book"What I saw." Her hero is a four-year-old boy, Alyosha. The writer tells the children about everything he saw during his exciting summer adventures. Several generations of children were brought up on the books of B.S. Zhitkov, which teach goodness and the best human qualities. The family was quite large: parents, three daughters and youngest son. He was born near Novgorod, in a village on the banks of the Volkhov, where his parents rented a dacha. My father taught mathematics: one of his problem books was published thirteen times. The family had to travel around Russia until they settled in Odessa, where his father managed to get a job as a cashier at a shipping company. Boris's mother idolized music. In her youth she even took lessons from the great Anton Rubinstein.

In Odessa, Boris went to school for the first time: a private, French one, where instead of grades for diligence, they gave candy wrappers and toys. Then I entered the gymnasium. He was an unusual high school student. His hobbies knew no bounds. He seemed to be interested in everything: he spent hours playing the violin, or studying photography. I must say that he was a meticulous “emitter.” And he often achieved excellent results. For example, having become interested in sports, he not only won prizes in races, but also built a yacht with his friends.

He was not even ten years old, but he already swam superbly, dived, and went alone on a boat far out to sea, causing the envy of the neighboring boys. None of his classmates could tie sea knots, row, predict the weather, or recognize insects and birds better or faster than him. He always liked simple and courageous people who are not afraid of any difficulties or dangers.

After high school, he entered the natural sciences department of Novorossiysk University, where he studied mathematics and chemistry (1906). Then, from 1911 to 1916, he studied on the ship's construction department of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute.

He led an ichthyological expedition along the Yenisei, worked at factories in Copenhagen and Nikolaev. I went on sailboats to Bulgaria and Turkey. Having passed the exam for a long-distance navigator as an external student, he set off across three oceans from Odessa to Vladivostok as a navigator on a cargo ship. During the 1905 revolution, he made explosives for bombs and helped print leaflets. And during the First World War, it accepted engines for Russian aircraft in England. He worked at school, taught mathematics and drawing. He had to starve, wander, hide. After college, he made a career as a sailor and mastered several other professions. And so, with the passion with which he sailed a yacht on the Black Sea as a boy, he, a middle-aged man, threw himself into literary work

While visiting Chukovsky, Boris Stepanovich told different stories. The children listened to him with bated breath. Korney Ivanovich advised him to try his hand at literature, to describe the adventures that happened to him in different parts of the world. In 1923, at the age of 42, B. Zhitkov unexpectedly came to Chukovsky. In tattered clothes, with a haggard face. They haven't seen each other for five years. Korney Ivanovich was already a famous writer at that time. They once studied together in Odessa, at one time they were even friends, and Chukovsky (then Kolya Korneychukov) often visited the Zhitkov family. It turned out that B. Zhitkov kept an unusual diary in his free time. It had everything like a real magazine: poems, stories and even color illustrations.

In 1924, his first story, “Over the Sea,” was published. He wrote about what he himself saw and experienced, and he told it with great skill, interestingly, truthfully. Zhitkov was a writer of exceptional truthfulness. He never deviated from this rule. He was published, first addressing adults, then increasingly to a children's audience, which he found, in particular, as a regular author of children's magazines and newspapers “New Robinson”, “Chizh”, “Hedgehog”, “Young Naturalist”, “Pioneer”, "Lenin's sparks"...

Soon appeared in magazines funny stories Zhitkova for children: “About an Elephant”, “About a Mongoose”, “Mongoose”, “Compass”, “Dimensions”, etc. Boris Stepanovich wrote about real courage, about camaraderie, about a lot of the most interesting things in the world. And the children immediately fell in love with his books. And the stories “About an Elephant” or “A Stray Cat” could have been written by a person who not only loved animals, but also understood them. How can one not remember that Boris Zhitkov had both a trained wolf and a cat who knew how to “become monkeys.”

He created cycles of children's stories “What I Saw” and “What Happened.” Main character of the first cycle, the inquisitive boy “Alyosha-Pochemuchka”, whose prototype was the writer’s little neighbor in the communal apartment Alyosha. A book “for small readers” called “What I Saw” was published in 1939. It was the last for Boris Zhitkov.

Everything that Zhitkov wrote about, he had a chance to see in life with his own eyes or do with his own hands. That's why his stories are so fascinating. From the very first lines, readers are concerned about whether the passengers of a sailing ship that capsized during a storm will be saved (the story “Squall”), whether the sailors will be able to remove the compass from the steamship seized by traitors (“Compass”), whether a feral cat will get used to a person and will make friends with a dog (“Stray cat”). And Boris Zhitkov told us many such true stories about man’s compassion for “our smaller brothers” animals.

For his eternal wanderings, he was once called the “eternal Columbus.” What would Columbus be without discoveries! In 1936, Zhitkov took up an unprecedented book, “an encyclopedia for four-year-old citizens.” He called her "Why". The first listener and critic of individual chapters was his real neighbor Alyosha, to whom “explaining the subway will dislocate your brains.”

A person who skillfully and creatively performs his work is called a master. We call Boris Stepanovich Zhitkov a master. Reading his books, we find ourselves in a workshop, a rich, elegant, talented workshop of words.

Interesting fact Boris Zhitkov is the main character of the famous children's poem “Mail” by Samuil Marshak. Ordered from Rostov For comrade Zhitkov! Custom made for Zhitkov? Sorry, there is no such thing! I flew to London yesterday at seven fourteen in the morning. Zhitkov goes abroad The earth rushes through the air and turns green below. And after Zhitkov, a registered letter is being carried in a mail carriage.

B.S. Zhitkov traveled halfway around the world - Russia, Europe, Asia, the Japanese Islands. He spoke fluently in many languages, played the violin excellently, and was a skilled trainer. Zhitkov was the organizer shadow theater and a special series of books for the illiterate, the author of the unfinished book The History of the Ship, the cycle Stories about Technology, addressed to young people. The work of Zhitkov, a classic of Russian children's literature, who, along with V.V. Bianchi and E.I. Charushin, can also be considered the founder scientific and artistic genre in children's literature, had a significant influence on many children's writers.

In 1937, Zhitkov became seriously ill. One friend suggested that he be treated by fasting. And he starved for 21 days, surprised that hunger did not affect his performance. The treatment didn't help. On October 10, 1938, Boris Stepanovich Zhitkov died. He lived 56 years, 15 of which he devoted to literature. But he managed to do so much and with such talent as rarely anyone could. There is a legacy left: almost two hundred stories, novellas, articles.

Cinematography In the cinema, B. S. Zhitkov, one of the main characters in the film “Look Back for a Moment” / “I Lived Then” (1984, Odessa Film Studio, directed by Vyach. Kolegaev), was played by actor Viktor Proskurin (and his friend K. I. Chukovsky Oleg Efremov). “Look back for a moment” 1984 Odessa film studio Vyach. Kolegaev Viktor ProskurinK. I.

Progress of the event

Of course, every person loves nature. But sometimes there are people endowed with some special attitude towards all living things. Outwardly reserved, but sincere and touching love Boris Stepanovich Zhitkov had access to this world, to everything living and in need of protection. He knew how to be amazed at the beauty of life, and in his stories to awaken compassion for the weak, incl. to “our smaller brothers”, and show interest in the mysteries of nature.

Slide: 1 Our literary hour we dedicate to life and creativityprose writer, teacher, traveler and researcher Boris Stepanovich Zhitkovhe would have turned 135 this year. Slide: 2

Slide: 3 Boris Stepanovich Zhitkov was born not far from Novgorod, in a village on the banks of the Volkhov River, where his parents rented a dacha. The Zhitkov family lived in Novgorod at that time. Father,Stepan Vasilievich, taught mathematics at the Novgorod teachers' seminary,wrote textbooks.

Mother,Tatyana Pavlovna,was an excellent pianist, she idolized music. Boris received an excellent primary education at home.The family had to travel a lot around Russia until they settled in Odessa, whereBoris was sent to the second Odessa gymnasium. In the same class as Zhitkov, sat a tall, thin, very fidgety high school student, a future writer. One day Boris persuaded Kolya Korneychukov to go to Kyiv on foot! And this is 400 km. We left at dawn. Everyone has a shoulder bag. But they didn't last long. Boris was an imperious, unyielding commander, and Kolya turned out to be an obstinate subordinate. They quarreled, and their paths diverged... for several decades. Chukovsky went into literature, and Zhitkov wandered around the world for a long time.

Slide: 4 Boris was an unusual high school student. His hobbies knew no bounds. He seemed to be interested in everything: he spent hours playing the violin, or studying photography.He was interested in completely different activities: he quoted scenes from literary works, played the violin and learned to row. The future writer received several prizes for his sporting achievements. During his passion for rowing, he managed to build a small boat with a cabin, of course, with the help of friends.

Slide 5: MBoris studied mathematics and chemistry at Novorossiysk University. But Boris Stepanovich was always attracted by the free winds and open spaces of the sea. He passed the navigator exam as an external student. In the summer, he hired out on sailboats, sailed along the Black Sea and to distant shores: Turkey, Bulgaria. Sailed both in the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. And where has he been?

In the same year, Zhitkov set off on a training cargo ship to circumnavigate the world. He began this voyage as a cabin boy, then became a fireman, and by the end of the voyage he was already the captain's mate. I was in India, Ceylon, China, Japan. Zhitkov did not know that he would become a writer, but he forever remembered the smart Indian elephants, the aroma of the heat, and the black, thin back of the Singhalese rickshaw.

Among Boris Stepanovich’s hobbies there was one that stubbornly “led” to that gate in the fence that “opened” Zhitkov the writer. One might say that since childhood his hand has been drawn to the pen, “pen to paper.” He published handwritten magazines. I kept diaries all my life. His letters are sometimes whole stories. He also wrote poetry: he had a whole notebook of them.

Slide: 6 In the fall of 1923, Boris Zhitkov returned to Petrograd.He had no money, and his health left much to be desired. Because of this, Boris went to his school friend Korney Chukovsky. There he entertained the writer’s children with his stories about the sea and travel, and as a result, Nikolai invited his friend to transfer these stories to paper.

In a few days, Zhitkov wrote the short story “Squall”. The novella was taken to the Vremya publishing house, and already in 1924 Zhitkov’s first book, entitled “The Evil Sea,” was published.

Chukovsky was amazed by his friend’s skill; he didn’t even have to edit the story. He admired the unmistakable sense of style and writing style of his comrade, whom he had previously considered an amateur.

Slide 7-10: Boris Stepanovich preferred to write about what he knew well, so his works were filled with amazing stories about travel and distant countries. The prose writer put a moral into each of his stories and sought to teach children and adults what he already knew.Zhitkov's heroes often find themselves in extreme situations. The cycles “On the Water”, “Above the Water”, “Under the Water”, “Mechanic of Salerno”, etc. are about this.

But Boris Stepanovich wrote not only about the sea. He has a lot of stories about animals.For example, in the Zhitkovs’ house there actually lived a tame wolf, who later became the hero of the story of the same name.

Zhitkov’s works are full of action, he often uses the form of conversation with the reader, and always writes figuratively and clearly. The task of Zhitkov’s creativity is a message to children useful information and nurturing in them the best human qualities.

Slide: 11 The pinnacle of Zhitkov’s work is the encyclopedia story “What I Saw” (published in 1938, posthumously), which became a reference book for many generations of children. The main character is an inquisitive boy “Alyosha-Pochemuchka”, whose prototype was the writer’s little neighbor in a communal apartment Alyosha Nekrasov.

Then in life, Alexey Vsevolodovich Nekrasov became a professor, Doctor of Geographical Sciences, head of the department at the St. Petersburg Hydrometeorological University.

The stories of this series later formed the basis animated films: “Buttons and men”, “Why elephants?”, “Pudya”.

Slide 12: Everything that Zhitkov wrote about, he had a chance to see in life with his own eyes or do with his own hands. That's why his stories are so fascinating.

Slide 13: Boris Stepanovich Zhitkov died. He lived only fifty-six years, and his writing life was very short - about fifteen years. But he managed to write so much and with such talent as rarely anyone has managed.Along with V.V. Bianchi and E.I. Charushin, Boris Zhitkov is considered the founder of scientific artistic genre in children's literature. His work had a significant influence on many children's writers.

He committed trip around the world: visited many cities and countries around the world, was a participant in many scientific expeditions. Everything he saw was described in his stories. And he left neither many nor few stories, but more than five hundred. The guys met one of them. This is the story "Mongoose". With bated breath the children listened to the adventures of the little furry animal.

For the event, the library has a themed shelf “Eternal Columbus.”

The event was attended by 28 people.
