Good Attitude Towards Horses. Poems for Children

The poem "Good Attitude Towards Horses" is included in the mandatory reading program for literature in the 7th grade. Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky (1893–1930) is a great poet of the 20th century, a lyricist and orator. Mayakovsky wrote not only for adults but also for children. His children’s poems are distinguished by bright images, memorable rhythm, and simple language, and they also teach young readers to be kind and decent people. Imagine: a horse has fallen! The crowd laughs, but it is in pain and scared. And only one person comforts it. With his poem "Good Attitude Towards Horses," Mayakovsky reminds us: there is always room in the human heart for compassion. The collection includes the poems "What is good and what is bad?", "Who to be?", "An Unusual Adventure that Happened to Vladimir Mayakovsky One Summer at the Dacha", "Every page is an elephant or a lioness", and other poems and narratives studied in school.
