Sergei Luknitsky's book “This is my dog” includes several funny stories written on behalf of the fox terrier Pirate. This kind and smart book is addressed to both children and their parents. “You should write for children in the same way as for adults, only much better.” Unfortunately, this thought of Maxim Gorky has been forgotten today. Romance and detective novels are written for children in primitive language. Sergei Luknitsky returns to children the good humor of Sasha Cherny, Korney Chukovsky, Alexei Tolstoy and other great writers who gave wonderful books to many generations. For children of school age.
