Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky

Korney Chukovsky was a Russian poet, children's writer, translator, and journalist. He is currently considered the most published children's author in Russia.

During his youth and formative years, Chukovsky engaged in journalism and literary criticism, and he only turned to children's literature in 1916 when he published his first collection of nursery hymns. That same year, the world saw his first fairy tale, "The Crocodile," and a few years later, the fairy tales "Moydodyr" and "The Cockroach" were released. Additionally, the writer studied child psychology and speech. Based on his observations, he published the book "From 2 to 5" for parents.
