Books of fairy tales

Today I spent more than an hour in a recently opened bookstore, choosing a book of fairy tales for my eldest daughter. Despite the surprisingly wide range, a couple of hundred books, the choice was extremely limited.

Yes, you can certainly download books on the tablet and eliminate such costs, but today's children and so difficult to let it out of hand. Youngest is not even informed, and she's already screaming outrage trying to take him from older sister.

The practice of ordering books online, was not too successful. Well, that come across resources with detailed reviews and photos of pages from books. Otherwise, it may be a kind of lottery. Therefore, despite a decent increase of 30-40% of the price offline, I try to buy children's books in market.

I guess many parents already know what I'm getting at. The quality of some books, just disgusting. Okay illustrations and faded the same type of drawings as a blueprint, I tried to accept, but that is just the height of incompetence. I have the feeling that the classic tale of our childhood, forced to recount some of the "losers" vocabulary, which to a degree is limited that after reading the first lines of the book you want to burn.

I can't get over how the editors miss it. Rough and monosyllabic form of presentation in the style- " the man had a wife who died. He married another woman..." It is a normal beginning of a fairy tale for "Cinderella"or " frost". By the way in this presentation, the tale quietly fits into a couple of pages. What generation do we want to grow up with such a fundamental base? Fixing from the very first years similar moral bases.

Publishers are in such a hurry to make a profit that reissue the same collections of fairy tales in the new covers. With a large range at first glance, you will find it very difficult to find different 20-30% in the content of fairy tales collections of books. Is the range of authors and folk tales could fit in a few dozen works. Foreign collections can not boast of the quality of translation, although I was interested to read a couple of our fairy tales in their modern interpretation, but the translation spoils a lot.

Someone will say that my childhood memories just blurred and before it was the same. However, I was not lazy after the store to look at my parents and open a couple of dusty and yellowed from time collections. On these pages lives a fabulous world full of details for the development of creative thinking. Yes, there are no pictures and all you need to submit yourself, without tips. In modern times, everything is completely drawn by the artist and there is no need to imagine anything, but is this approach to development the best?
