From Two to Five

Kornei Chukovsky (1882–1969) — writer, critic, literary scholar, and founder of 20th-century children's literature. In the book "From Two to Five," he reflects on the state of the child, their soul and dreams, as well as on children's speech. Thoughts... on how our daughters and sons perceive the world and approach each discovery with curiosity intertwine with fascinating stories of various curiosities. Chukovsky was one of the first to apply psychological methods in the study of language, thinking, and children's poetic creativity. This work is not just a textbook on upbringing; it is a significant and long-term effort that will be useful to psychologists, educators, caregivers, parents, and children's writers.
