The animal world in stories for children of some ethnic minority writers in Vietnam

Abstract

The article examines the contribution of some ethnic minority writers to the literature for children when writing about the animal world that is close to children in mountainous areas. These ethnic minority writers have brought in their writings the most characteristic features of the mountainous landscape and people, especially the close and lovely world of animals. In stories for children of some typical writers such as Ma ALenh, Vi Hong, Doan Lu, etc., young readers can find themselves with useful lessons, deep love for animals, humans, labor, enjoyable experience and unforgettable memories. These are also meaningful lessons for children about the right and how to be good men. This can be considered as a rich and diverse source for nursery and primary schools in the northern mountainous areas. However, this source of materials has not been paid much attention for adoption at high schools.
