The first participants in the action were children from the “Solnyshko” kindergarten. It began with a literary game - the journey “Locomotive from Cartoon”. Traveling on a cheerful train through the stations “Otvechaykino”, “Velichaykino”, “Sostavlyaykino”, “Otgadaykino”, the children remembered the names of cartoons, catchphrases, guessed riddles, and put together puzzles. At each station, active guys received tokens. As a result, the winner of the game was Diana Anisimova, who received a book as a gift.

Then the children looked at books and magazines, recited their favorite poems, played and drew, and the librarians read the fairy tale “The Magic Mirror” for them.

And for loud reading we chose the book “I grew up” by A.L. Barto. Everyone knows her poems. Adults and children alike, like a counting rhyme, repeat well-known quatrains.

Children's favorite pastime is drawing, so everyone actively participated in the drawing competition, illustrating their favorite poems by the famous children's writer.
