What is good and what is bad?

Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893–1930) is one of the most significant poets of the 20th century. His works, addressed to adult readers, have become classics of Soviet literature. But Mayakovsky is no less famous as the author of poems for children. Cheerful, mischievous, playful, they teach children in an entertaining form to distinguish good from bad, to be kind and honest, not to be lazy, to strive for knowledge and to think creatively. The book includes the poet's most popular poems for young readers.
