The article focuses on the children's books in the Soviet Union. Since 1917 children all over Russia have been looking for books and Soviet educators and teachers, the best writers of children's stories and verse, and many of the foremost artists have been busy creating a new juvenile literature. It was only after a period of experimentation that they realized that the children needed. They found that Soviet children, like all other children, take a healthy interest in happy, not sentimental, truly dramatic stories; they want stories that deal with realities, not fantastic and remote bed-time tales.
