He will be joined by book bloggers Sveta Guseva @gus_creative and Dasha Shchelkova @book_heroine. Together, they will discuss how fantasy stories help "calculate" teens, develop imagination and imaginative thinking. How the world of fantasy helps to learn, memorize new things, and why sometimes fantasy is better than classics.

How to help a baby to speak? What games contribute to the enrichment of active vocabulary? What are the norms of speech development? When a child should pronounce all the sounds clearly?

This book will become an indispensable assistant for those schoolchildren who "fall into a stupor" at the sight of a blank sheet of paper, and for those who write easily, but for some reason do not get A's. Parents and children will learn seven secrets of quality work on any proposed topic - from "How I spent my summer" to "Eugene Onegin - an egoist at will". Writer, screenwriter and teacher Valentina Dyogteva will share the secrets of writing texts and give many examples of working with various Russian language tasks to master the skill of writing.

The first children's publishing house of Russia - "Children's Literature" - together with the oldest state Moscow Puppet Theater will present the book "The Golden Key, or Buratino's Adventures" with illustrations by Volgograd artist Ninel Pirogova in a new polygraphic version. These tender pictures will come to life on stage, and you will enter a magical land where puppets talk, masks come to life, and the golden key opens the door to the world of joy and dreams.

Artists of the Moscow Children's Variety Theater always find actual compositions when choosing repertoire. This is a special melody of childhood, poetry and literature, but at the same time a conscious and verified conversation with adult audiences, families and the youngest spectators. This year marks the 115th anniversary of Nikolai Nosov's birth, and the young artists are sure to make a creative bow to the children's author who gave us Neznayka and many other world-famous characters.

It has been 170 years since the birth of Vladimir Shukhov. Some people know nothing about him, others will remember only the famous Shukhov Tower. Airat Bagautdinov, author of the book "The World of Engineer Shukhov. How the inventor's brain works" will tell about the bright personality of engineer Shukhov and his great creations: slabs and pavilions, oil storages and tankers, oil refineries and steam boilers included in the book.

The group "Andersen" of the school of musical Inside reinterpreted the well-known story of the brave boy-bow Cipollino and served it under a humorous sauce of Italian cuisine. Yes, you heard right - the narrator is the chef of an Italian cafe, and all the events played out take place right on his table. Unusual? You bet! But the new approach, of course, preserves the main thing: the story of friendship and courage, mutual help and unity of heroes, justice and kindness! After all, these are the qualities that should always triumph.
