Children's poetry is a difficult genre for poets, but kids love it very much. The thing is that the great predecessor poets set the bar very high in this genre. Who does not know The Little Humpbacked Horse or The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish? Our article tells about the current poet, our contemporary, who writes fascinating poetic tales for children.

On the formation of a children's poet

Vladimir Khlynov was born on November 16, 1958 in the town of Zheleznodorozhny near Moscow. He fell in love with Russian poetry from childhood, and as a child he began to compose, rhyme. Later he will say: "A poet is not a profession, it is a human condition." Love for the artistic word was instilled in him by his parents, who adored the poetry of Pushkin and Nekrasov. He composed his first fairy tale "Mishka Tishka" while studying in the fifth grade.

Although the poet Vladimir Khlynov has been writing poetry regularly since 1974, he first published his fairy tale only in the mid-90s, when he worked at the Paris Commune shoe factory in Moscow. The newspaper of this enterprise, called Kommunar, helped him publish Mishka Tishka for the first time.

The factory workers liked the creation of the poet. And the image of the main character fell onsoul to children. With the light hand of Khlynov, various stories and cartoons with this hero appeared.
