Introduction

Abstract

The issue is devoted to the study of poetry for children and its translations. The research focuses on semantics and pragmatics of poetry for children: the development of children's poetry in Russia and Europe, literary criticism, rhythm, and metrics, applied poetry for children, pedagogical discussions that arise around it. Studies of translations of foreign-language poetry for children make it possible to see the similarities and differences in the development of poetic traditions for children in different languages ​​and in different countries, as well as the boundaries of the individual contribution of the translator to the text, which they transplant into a different cultural soil in a different poetic environment.
